"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

Love is in the air when five sisters discover that a wealthy and eligible bachelor is suddenly within reach. But it is his friend, the haughty Mr. Darcy, who becomes smitten. Unfortunately for him, the object of his affection is not so easily swayed.

One of the most popular characters in English literature, Elizabeth Bennet is intelligent, witty, well-spoken and ahead of her time. If the terrible rumors about Mr. Darcy are true, he doesn’t stand a chance. Yet not all gossip is to be believed when marriage, money, and reputations are on the line. Will Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy circumvent her haste, his ego, and society’s expectations to find love?

Written more than two centuries ago, Jane Austen’s enduring story of manners, family, and love continues to delight new generations of readers.

Es la primera vez que un libro romántico me encanta. Excelente historia y personajes increíbles. Lo único que me pesa es no haberlo leído antes.
