Lit Spirits Book Club: Jane Austen Series, "Pride and Prejudice"✨️
About the event
The cooler weather is upon us, meaning more snuggled-in, early evenings - that beg for a cup of tea and a book in hand, cuddled into the corner of a cozy couch.🍵📖🛋✨️
Jump into this journey where I get re-read some of my favorites, and others, for the first time. My goal is to read most, if not all, of the classic literature by one author at a time, moving from easiest to most challenging!
Plot Summary:
"Since its immediate success in 1813, *Pride and Prejudice* has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England."
