natniss 's review for:

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
4.0

Rarely have I found a character so infuriating as a certain male character in this. My partner came to know quite a lot of the plot from me moaning about him!
As always, Austen has crafted such fantastic characters, all of whom I think most readers will be able to relate (positively or negatively) to someone in their lives. While I do feel that the play section early on takes on a little more time than necessary, the rest of the plot is a delight. Any reader who has enjoyed her other work will find plenty to enjoy here.
