Pride and Prejudice

What a delightful reading of a favourite classic!

Rosamund Pike brings to elegant life all the wonderful characters that populate Jane Austen's novel on class, snobbery, and discrimination (and lopsided inheritance laws) in Regency England. There is no male hero quite equal to Mr Darcy, and Elizsbeth's wit amuses anew. The narrative, despite it being written more than two hundred years ago, can still make me laugh, especially when narrated in the honeyed voice of Ms Pike. Who would have thought?

One of my absolute favourite lit classics.
