It definitely took me longer to read this book since it is written over a hundred years ago and there are multiple characters to keep straight, but reading through an entire Jane Austen novel has long been on my bucket list and I am so happy to have read this version and accomplished my goal!
I am grateful to Bethany House Publishing for coming up with it. Just wonderful!
