Jane Austen's sparkling and witty novels continue to entrance readers today--as proven by the rapturous reception given the many film and TV adaptations of her work. Pride and Prejudice, Austen's most well-loved story, tells of Lizzy Bennet and her five sisters as they search for true love-a love Lizzy nearly loses because of pride. Fanny, of Mansfield Park, comes to live with her aunt and uncle in their elegant mansion. But she finds herself both out of place and in love with her handsome cousin Edmund. Can shy Fanny win him from the outgoing and charming Miss Crawford? Persuasion, Austen's last final novel, explores the consequences of giving in to the opinions of others, rather than following one's own heart. Delightfully illustrated with delicate line drawings.

Mansfield Park focuses on a much different heroine than Elizabeth Bennett. Fanny Price is the poor cousin of the family who raised her, a decidedly ridiculous family in many ways, with only one good apple in the bunch - and it's not Mrs. Norris. To be completely honest, I first picked it up to see what relationship Aunt Norris had with her namesake, the cat in Harry Potter. I'm probably due for a reread of this one. 4 stars.
Persuasion was the last of Jane Austen's completed novels, published posthumously, and the last that I read. Anne Elliot is rather older than the heroines of Austen's other works. She gave up an attachment to a suitor on the advice of an old friend. Now, her father and sister go away to Bath since they can no longer afford the family estate. The old suitor, Captain Wentworth, returns, but does not appear to still have affection for Anne. I probably would not have enjoyed this novel half as much if I had read it as a teen, but it's already become my second-favorite (give it a few more rereads and I might put it on a level playing field with Pride and Prejudice. 4.5 stars.
