What this book is about
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, second of five daughters in a genteel but precarious family, as she navigates Regency England where women's futures depend entirely on whom they marry. Her encounters with the proud Mr. Darcy — whom she finds insufferable and who finds her beneath him — form one of literature's great love stories precisely because the journey from mutual contempt to genuine understanding is so thoroughly earned.
