Description

The romantic novel is full of wit and drama as Mrs Bennet is anxious that all her five daughters are married before the imminent taking over of the family estate by William Collins after Mr bennet's demise.

Pride and Prejudice traces the life of the Bennet sisters in the Victorian times.

It addresses ideas of morality, social standing of women, Class divide and its idiosyncrasies through the experiences of Elizabeth Bennet, the second daughter of Mr and Mrs Bennet.

All is calm and quiet in Longbourne until the summer when the mild-mannered Mr Bingley and his uptight friend Mr Darcy rent the nearby estate of Netherfield Park.

Mr Bingley falls instantly for the shy, sensitive Jane, the eldest of the five Bennet girls, but sparks fly when Elizabeth and Mr Darcy meet. And so enters love, and with it comes turmoil into their young lives.

Will Jane and Mr Bingley get together, despite their social differences?

Will Elizabeth look beyond her first impressions of Mr Darcy?

How will their choices affect their future as well as that of their sisters?

This classic novel answers all this as Jane Austen skilfully weaves various themes that were quintessential to the lives of the landed gentry in early 19th century England.
