Mansfield Park by Jane Stabler, Jane Austen
3.0

This is not one of my favourite’s of Austen’s. I’ve finished this novel just to be irritated by the characters. If Austen wanted to demonstrate the fickleness of men she captures it well with Mr Crawford, but for this man to be enraptured by Fanny for a volume and a half and then to betray his senses with Maria… Edmund alternatively is fixated with Miss Crawford from their very first meeting but marries Fanny having revealed his feelings two pages ago… I’m ultimately happy to see Fanny finally find her footing in her family but what a tedious journey to get there
