Wishing Pride and Prejudice a happy 200th Birthday.
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I
think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with
it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human
characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the
appearance of merit or sense.”

Synopsis
Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect Austen heroine: intelligent, generous,
sensible, incapable of jealousy or any other major sin. That makes her
sound like an insufferable goody-goody, but the truth is she's a
completely hip character who ,if provoked, is not above skewering her
antagonist with a piece of her exceptionally sharp, yet always
polite, 18th-century wit. The real point of the book though, the
critical question which will keep you fixated throughout, is: will
Elizabeth and Mr Darcy hook up? Read this genuine all-time classic and
discover the answer while enjoying a story that has charmed generation
after generation.
