Jane Austen has her own separate rating system because all her books are 5 stars ...
That being said, even though Mansfield is my second favourite Austen novel, this edition only gets 2 stars (on the Austen scale). I much prefer the Penguin edition narrated by Pippa Bennett-Warner. Francis Barber's performance was monotonous and coloured all the characters as even more insipid than they already naturally are.
