All the charms of Austen’s writing appear in her debut novel: witty dialogue; well-developed characters whose traits contrast each other in interesting ways; and satisfying character arcs. I got a lot more out of my re-read than I did from my initial read in high school, and I’m sure I would get more out of future repeat reads as well.
