Everyone knows Jane Austin's book are classic for a reason so I don't need to rave about this book to tell you its good. All I will say the reason why I enjoy this book so much is it takes real skill for a writer to write a compelling and fun romance novel where the intended couple only get together in the last few sentences. I enjoy this book and recommend reading it from this perspective its very cleverly done.

3.0

The novel tells the story of Fanny Price, who is sent at the age of ten to live with her wealthy aunt and uncle. The story follows Fanny and her cousins through the years. Fanny grows up with her cousin, who, apart from Edmund, mistreat her. The narrative follows the relationships and lives of Fanny and her cousins.

This is my least favourite of Austens novels and at times found the story quite slow and hard to get through at times.
