Was a pleasant easy read .
Somehow Jane Austen manages to engage and capture the readers attention even while writing about mundane daily happenings .
All of her novels seem to circle around the central theme of courtship between a man and a women, the obstacle they face but eventually love conquers all.She always has given a happy fairy tail ending to all her books “ And they all lived happily ever after “.It was surprising to find that someone who wrote so much about courtship didn’t find love herself . Perhaps , since she did not experience “the happily ever after “ she gave all her characters happy endings . Just speculating …
adventurous emotional reflective tense

Slow at first as the stage was set, but then quite engaging. Glad to have read it. And Elizabeth Klett does a superb job of reading it on LibriVox.

On reread: elevated one star.

I knew I loved this book, I had just forgotten how much. Hilarious, satirical, perfect.
