I have spent the last week reading this adorable and famous classic, the plot of which I will not waste time in explaining. I am yet to find a book or even a movie which showcases both, a healthy relationship and a male character who admits and CHANGES his flaws in a mature way but Austen has done it here (that too in 1813!). These ideas in those days must have been scandalous to most but I have enjoyed every bit of them. The characters have genius motivations and the contrast of their tempers makes for some very entertaining conflicts. I have laughed but mostly cried with this book so please read this!
