Truly incredible.

Mr Darcy is the best male character I have ever encountered in all of my reading. From his reservation and nobility to his passionate love for Elizabeth. Jane Austen writes her characters with great depth and diversity. This book was well paced, exciting and overwhelmingly giddy. In the beginning, the older language was challenging to comprehend but was quickly resolved with the progression of the novel- and I formed a true love of Austen’s writing style.

I hoped to have read greater description of Mr and Mrs Darcy’s life at Pemberley, and felt that although necessary and surprising, Lydia and Wickham’s subplot felt inconvenient, but that could very well have been my impatience.
