Reviewed by Jassie 🪲Second times a charm?! Zumindest ging es mir so bei diesem, doch berühmtesten, Werk von Jane Austen. Vor einiger Zeit probierte ich in Stolz & Vorurteil reinzufinden und musste mich nach 50 Seiten geschlagen geben. Aber diesmal hab ich es fertig gelesen und sogar genossen! Die Geschichte rund um die Familie Bennett und ihre Töchter ist äußerst unterhaltsam und als Person die Gossip liebt, sowieso perfekt. Im Englischen fielen mir manche Redewendungen und Schreibweisen schwer, da es doch in einem älteren Englisch verfasst ist, aber das hält einen nicht wirklich davon ab den Kontext zu verstehen und der Handlung folgen zu können.
