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 -- but always polite -- 18th century wit. The point is, you spend the whole book absolutely fixated on the critical question: will Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy hook up?



Gave it to -Corny. Have a nice trip!

Released on Thursday, August 26, 2004 at Waterloo International - Eurostar waiting area in London - Waterloo, England United Kingdom.

Took it from Leseliese from Gettorf, Schleswig-Holstein, read a few pages in Frankfurt (Oder), Brandenburg, and then packed it into my bag when I went to Cambridge on holiday. I left it on a chair in the Eurostar waiting area on my way back to Germany via London and Brussels. Unfortunately, I did not have the time to read it through, but maybe someone else will enjoy the book.
