Not as engaging or as endearing as Pride and Prejudice or Persuasion. I'm realizing that words are just flying over my head. Maybe it's not such a good idea reading a classic when I'm trying to move to a new city.

Will I try again in the future? Perhaps. Perhaps not.

It took me a long time to finally work up the courage to read an Austen book. I was hesitant to commit as I was having trouble with the language barrier. Many years of contemplation later I have finally conquered my first Jane Austen.

Probably worth mentioning that before I started reading this book I hadn’t seen any of the films. So I was completely in the dark as to what was going to happen. The reading itself was quite an ordeal. During my struggle to understand what was being said I lost quite a bit of the enjoyment of the story. Despite my difficulties I rate this book 3 stars because I enjoyed it enough to definitely read it again in the future.

The quality of this clothbound edition was lovely. Though be careful with the cover, the pretty detail does wear.
