This is one of those books I pick up when I don't have anything new to read. I have reread this several times and pick up something new each time I read it. The insight that the annotations gives you into the period of time that Jane Austen lived is wonderful.

In Pride and Prejudice the author explores people's preconceived notions and prejudices as they relate to one another. As the story enfolds, both Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy realize that their first impressions were flawed-there is more to each person than their pride or prejudices allowed them to believe.

The book is a window into the world of women and life in late 18th and early 19th centuries England. Our bookclub discussions included not only the growth of the characters or the premise of the book, but the life of Jane Austen, as both a social commentator and a woman ahead of her time. We compared life for women in both the 18th and 21st centuries. This book is a wonderful choice for an enjoyable read, stimulating conversation, and comradery among your members.
I heartily recommend it for your bookclub.
