Pride and Prejudice

About this book

When wealthy bachelor Mr. Bingley arrives at Netherfield Park, Mrs. Bennet sees a chance to marry off one of her five daughters. Elizabeth Bennet, quick-witted and independent, clashes with Bingley's proud friend Mr. Darcy after a cutting first impression. As balls, visits, and letters unfold across the English countryside, reputations rise and fall, sisters navigate love and scandal, and two stubborn hearts must learn what they have misjudged. Austen's beloved novel of manners explores class, family pressure, and the slow thaw between prejudice and regard, a comedy of errors that remains irresistibly readable.
