The P&P characters, I think, are truly represented, but with the sheen of idealism gently and frankly pulled back. People are allowed to be complex, and the world is allowed to be both large and grotesque, and small and precious.
It is a very slow pace, but the prose is very purposeful. It isn't meandering. The pace is set by the material limitations of a servant in the regency era. It is hard for me to pay attention to a lot of slow paced books, but I paid attention here.
Graphic: Gore and War
Moderate: Slavery, Trafficking, Miscarriage, and Pedophilia
Minor: Racism and Rape
