About this book
A quick-witted young woman, a proud and wealthy gentleman, and a mother determined to see her five daughters married.
Pride and Prejudice is a comedy of first impressions that turn out to be wrong, told with a sharp eye for how people talk, boast and misjudge each other. Two centuries later its dialogue still feels fresh. Read it if you enjoy clever conversation, family chaos and a slow change of heart.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
