Another re-read for me and while this rating and review might be colored by nostalgia, I still find myself enjoying it thoroughly and it remains a comfort for me to pick up again and again.

It is probably one of the best examples of how people can change over time and go through a redemption arc after their character failings are pointed out to them since they do it with no expectations of the other (even if there is plenty of hopeful yearning).  This goes for Darcy and Eliza both.
