‘It was, on the contrary, exactly calculated to make her understand her own wishes; and never had she so honestly felt that she could have loved him, as now, when all love must be vain.’
The best for a reason. I tried to read this when I was fifteen and couldn’t manage it. I think books come to you when you’re ready. I’m so glad that I tried again.
This was a masterclass in writing. The characterisation was excellent, the development superb, and the plot structure was next level …the rejection of the marriage proposal and Darcy’s letter being exactly halfway through the book … I’m in awe!!!!!
Also I really enjoyed the last chapter. In the BBC miniseries, they end with that little montage at the wedding and the final kiss. And in the Wright movie, you get this almost fanfiction scene of them kissing at Pemberley. The book’s ending was way more specific than that - I had no idea - and I loved that you see the future of their marriage and their wider family and their relations to one another and society in a lovely, neat way. Really interesting that it ends on this line about the Gardiners? I’m still trying to work out what that means. I like the Lydia wasn’t completed isolated from her family the end too! Plus the incredible line where Lizzy understands that her role from day one of marriage is to roast Darcy to the point of shocking Georgiana.

I didn't think there was a way to fall in love with this story any deeper, but the analytical context provided on the text, time period, and Jane Austen herself really adds a richness to the story.
While the added annotations slowed down my reading of this book by a long shot, I still think it was well worth it. This is a wonderful reference book full of other titles that might interest a Jane Austen fanatic.
