Why read this book?

Elizabeth Bennet navigates family expectations, social rank and the judgments that shape courtship in the English countryside. Her encounters with Mr Darcy turn first impressions into a recurring question. Jane Austen combines sharp conversation with close attention to money, manners and the stories people tell themselves about one another.

Read for the wit of its conversations and the pleasure of noticing how a confident judgment can rest on incomplete knowledge.

Our reading: examine a first impression before treating it as the whole truth.
