Jane Austen
Elizabeth Bennet has four sisters, a mother set on marrying them off and no fortune. Then the proud Mr Darcy arrives, and the two misjudge each other so thoroughly that only the truth can undo it.
Austen's comedy is a precise instrument: every dinner, every letter and every proposal measures the gap between what people say, what they want and what they can afford. The romance works because the two people in it change; the satire works because nobody else does.
A family of five daughters, an entailed estate and a mother who counts eligible men the way others count sheep. Into the neighbourhood come Mr Bingley, who is cheerful and rich, and his friend Mr Darcy, who is richer and will not dance. Elizabeth decides on the spot what Darcy is. It takes her the whole book to find out what he actually is — and him to find out the same about himself.
