In early nineteenth-century England, a spirited young woman copes with the suit of a snobbish gentleman, as well as the romantic entanglements of her four sisters.
Mr. Darcy finds himself captivated by Elizabeth’s wit and candor, while her reservations about his character slowly vanish. The story is as much a social critique as it is a love story, and the prose crackles with Austen’s wry wit.
"A grim tale of retribution....The three characters are a discouraged New England farmer, his hypochondriac wife, and a girl who still finds some joy in living." Booklist.
