Synopsis
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor, Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.
I really thought I wouldn't like this book seeing it is predominately a romance novel, but I just loved it and couldn't put it down. I had to keep reading to see what happened. All through the book I pictured Mr Darcy as Colin Firth........I've never seen any tv adaptation but now I want to see it......the one with Colin Firth of course! I won't say much more as I do not want to spoil the book for anyone, but I am so glad I read it!
