One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'
'The best-loved book by our best-loved novelist' Independent

‘No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes…’

When Elizabeth Bennet first meets Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he in turn is indifferent to her wit and lively mind.

But the Bennet daughters are in need of financial security in the shape of husbands, and when Darcy’s friend, the affable Mr Bingley, forms an attachment to Elizabeth’s beloved sister Jane, Darcy becomes increasingly hard to avoid.

Polite society will be turned upside down in Jane Austen’s classic romance novel - a witty drama of friendship and rivalry, and timeless story of love, marriage and human nature.
