Really enjoyed this production. The narrator's voice and accent are pleasant and she reads the characters well.
For example, Mrs. Bennet is appropriately ridiculous but not over the top shrill and annoying as she is in other productions I've tried.

There are some absolute bangers of prose in this book, lots of them that deal with Elizabeth's characterization:
Elizabeth saying, "I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine." (Ch. 5) Darcy saying, "Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast." (Ch. 10) Mr. Bennet absolutely decimating his own daughter with "Let us hope, therefore, that her being there may teach her her own insignificance." (Ch. 41) Lizzy to Lady Catherine, "I do not possess equal frankness with your ladyship. You may ask questions which I shall not choose to answer." (Ch. 56) And again, "But you are not entitled to know mine (referring to wanting to know her nephew's concerns); nor will such behaviour as this, ever induce me to be explicit." (Ch. 56) And AGAIN, "I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me." (Ch. 56)
Why is it always "you're cute" and never "YOU MUST ALLOW ME TO TELL YOU HOW ARDENTLY I ADMIRE AND LOVE YOU"?????

"Pride and Prejudice" follows Elizabeth Bennet, the second of five daughters. Throughout the course of the novel, we get to see Elizabeth struggle to deal with issues related to manners, upbringing, and marriage. When two new men move into the neighborhood, the five Bennet daughters' lives are entirely altered when they finally have the opportunity to wed a good man. Some of the daughters swoon at the idea of finding love, while others struggle to come to terms with the life being forced upon them.
I really enjoyed seeing a strong female lead who did not simply wish to be wed. Not only was this scandalous at the time, but it laid the groundwork for future novels and women. Elizabeth has a mind of her own, and she is strong independently. She does not need a partner to hold her up, and I loved every second of it. I think she navigates the nuances of her world beautifully.
I had a really great time with this story, and I am happy to have finally read the infamous "Pride and Prejudice".
