I finished reading this one today. It was my second time through. I found it kind of difficult to get through because I already knew all the plot twists and I was impatient for them. Jane Austen was really pretty funny. Her humour is so understated that if you’re not paying attention, you’ll miss it. I would imagine that this novel was meant to teach morals and manners. Fanny Price is modest, lovely, shy, completely unpretentious and unspoiled. Her cousins provide the opposite. The contrasts are very obvious and therein lies a lot of the humour. This one is definitely worth the read.
