Took me a while to finish this one, but in the end it was a satisfying read. Austen was both a gifted writer and a keen observer of human nature.
As you might expect with a book written over 200 years ago, some words have gone out of use or have changed/gained/lost meanings or connotations. However, that didn't prove to be much of a problem. I read an annotated version which was helpful at times.
