A review by sofia_bookishwanderess
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
5.0
This is my first time re-reading this book, after reading it for the first time over 10 years ago, and I had forgotten so many details so I'm glad I decided to read it again. I loved how the book didn't show only Darcy's pride at the beginning to then reveal later on his true feelings and personality, instead is clear from very early on how he admired Elizabeth. Also, the book made Elizabeth's prejudices so much more obvious. I loved all their interaction throughout the book and the segment when they are at Lady Catherine's house as well as the Pemberley portion of the book are my favorites. I love Jane Austen's writing, her very deliberate choices of what to tell the reader and when, her humor, and her ability to portray the class and gender relations of the time. My only issue with this is that the Lydia storyline, which takes somewhere between 30 and 40 pages of the book, dragged a little.
