I actually really enjoyed it, which going into it I thought i wouldn’t.
I think it’s a far more complex novel compared to pride and prejudice due to the social commentary.
Main leading lady, Fanny, is a bit of a wet and feeble character who is instantly in love with her cousin which is weird but that’s what the did back in the day.
As it’s Austen the ending is all shiny and happy but darker themes so that the Bertram’s and the Crawford aren’t all happy and are in the negative eye in society.
