A must.
Brilliant, as a mature Uni student I have decided to buy all the books on my reading list. Wonderful information and an asset that hasn't cost the earth.

This book is a classic for a reason. Austen was very aware of her society and its pros and cons. This is one book that everyone should read at least once in their lifetime.
