Mansfield Park
by Jane Austen
2.5/5 stars
Mansfield Park follows poor Fanny Price as she grows up on her uncle’s estate among her wealthy cousins, and experiences unrequited love.
Given that this is the last Jane Austen novel that I haven't read, you'd think I'd feel more accomplished upon finishing it, but I don't. I just feel a lot of regret for having put myself through that experience.
I’m being harsh, I recognize that, but other than the writing I couldn’t really find anything that I liked about Mansfield Park. I have nothing against timid, well-mannered protagonists, my issue with Fanny is that she is utterly forgettable. None of the events in Mansfield Park are particularly interesting or exciting, the novel is far too long, and I wasn’t invested in any of the characters whatsoever. Easily my least favourite of Jane Austen’s novels.
