A review by laurasauras
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

5.0

I love this book so much. I come back to it over and over because the story is so well-crafted and the drama is entirely earned. Austen does satire in such a playful way, but if you think about what she's criticising for any length of time you feel the deep injustices inherent in the social system she writes about. This time I was following Darcy's perspective more than I usually do and it was a really rewarding experience to see how often he smiled when Elizabeth was involved. It's just so nice to reread a favourite.
