Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice is a beautiful story that takes place in early nineteenth century England and follows a middle class family: the Bennets. This novel opens with a scene describing Mrs.Bennet's utmost desire for one of her daughters to marry the handsome man that has come to visit their town. From then onwards, the book is a massive swirl of family loyalty, courtships and proposals. Elizabeth, the main character, we soon learn is a strong willed character, ready to stick up for those that matter to her, and quick to show her disdain for those who don't.
