One of P. D. James' favourite books.
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

Brimming with gossip and guile, see why the love story between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy has withstood the test of time.Mrs. Bennet's only hope in raising five daughters is that they will each find a husband who can provide for them a happy, and financially secure life. When word travels to the family that the neighborhood's newly arrived and most handsome man, Mr. Bingley, is a bachelor, Elizabeth never expects to find herself tangled in the web of drama he seems to create. Distancing herself from the other girls vying for his attention, Elizabeth knows what she wants, and it is not Mr. Bingley.
