It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
From that one short sentence I became instantly obsessed. Pride and Prejudice is one of those novels that touches your heart and mind. Meet the witty Elizabeth Bennet and the haughty Mr. Darcy and became dazzled by this unconventional romance. Laugh out loud moments abound as you get to know their family members, ridiculous neighbors, and loathsome enemies.
Jane Austen's novel, published in 1813, still holds up today and is enjoyed all over the world as a beloved classic.
