Book Description:
What's a girl to do?

Scatterbrained, social climbing Mrs. Bennet makes one demand of her five daughters.

Marry. Marry well. Marry RICH.

But sweet Jane is hopelessly in love with Mr. Bingley, who doesn't seem to notice. Flighty Lydia wants a man--any man--preferably one in uniform. Kitty just wants to have fun. Shy Mary has her nose in a book. And Elizabeth--brilliant, stubborn, independent Lizzy--refuses the advances of the most "marriageable" man in town--haughty, handsome, wealthy Mr. Darcy.

Mrs. Bennet's in hysterics, Mr. Bennet's in his study, Lydia's eloped with a soldier and Jane's heart may well be broken. Will any of the Bennet girls find true love and fortune?

A classic, yes... Loved by some, loathed by me. But at least I've read it and can discuss it. Full of shallow people, worring about shallow things. Manners, money, but no one is willing to do a day's work.

I had some trouble understanding some of the terms and phrases, but it's not hard to get the gist of what's going on. This book is awesome and has become my favorite book!

A must read. This is a nice, lightweight, slim, edition to carry around in your purse when you want to keep your beloved hardback copy at home.

Romantic novel of the clash between two opinionated young people. This novel captures the affectations of class-conscious Victorian families with matrimonial aims and rivalries.
