Having finally watched (and delighted in) the 90s TV adaptation, I thought it was time to revisit a book I'd previously not appreciated in my teens. And gosh, it is good! I picked up on the nuances of tone much better having been primed to watch for them, and Mr & Mrs Bennet's lines benefitted greatly from this. Looking forward to following up with Death Comes to Pemberley, and possibly The Other Bennet Sister.
My inner socialist rebelled at the insights into the economy and society of the period, but I'm not going to let that get in the way of a good time.
