Mansfield Park
by Jane Austen
Of all Jane Austen’s books, this one is probably my least favorite. It was good, and I liked it, but it’s not my absolute favorite.
Honestly, I found myself rereading most of it, because I found myself losing interest at times. I find the fact that Fanny is overlooked by her family interesting, but not a surprise, since her family was poor. She does go back to live with her parents and siblings for a time, and it was interesting to see her in a different environment. She is smart and shy, lives by a strict moral code, and is somewhat prone to wishful thinking. She does become more confident by the end of the novel but other than that, she didn’t seem to change all too much. Fanny was slightly difficult for me to relate with, but I still liked her.
I give it a 3 out of 5. It’s my least favorite Austen book; overall, I thought it was just average.
