One you get past the language barrier, nay, once you embrace the language barrier, you get it. The language is beautiful. The story is juicy. I love hot goss no matter the era. I had a great time and I was inspired to write so you know what? Extra points. What a great book.

I put ableism as a tag because Mr Darcy is autistic and everyone hates autistic people until suddenly they love us because we're sweetie pies with resting bitch face.boglord's review against another edition

This time I read along with Jennifer Ehle's reading on youtube and what an absolute delight. I adore her as Elizabeth, so it was just perfect. That aside though, I found that this may have been my favorite read of the book. I've always enjoyed it, but I really took my time with it this time and had a more immersive experience with the audio.
For those of you who don't know what this book is about, it takes place in 1800 England and follows the Bennet family - a family of 7 (Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their 5 girls - Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia) - and particularly the story of Elizabeth and Jane and their journeys in finding love. There's so much more to it than that, but that's the smallest nutshell version.
It's got tons of brilliant banter and wit, feminism (for the time period) and chemistry. It really is a phenomenal book (though not my absolute favorite of Austen's, though Darcy is probably my favorite hero from the lot...).
I had a fantastic time rereading this and definitely plan on doing so again in the future.

Titeln representerar huvud paret fär miss Bennett har flera fördomar medan Mr. Darcy är för stolt. Boken handlar iprincip om hur de överkommer dessa hinder.
Läsvärd gör den som vill ha en klassiker som är en historisk romans.
