"At the age of ten, shy, vulnerable Fanny Price leaves behind her impoverished family in Portsmouth to go and live with her rich relatives at Mansfield Park.
Growing up with her cousins Tom, Edmund, Maria and Julia, she is aware that she is different from them and that her place in society cannot be taken for granted, although she is not treated unkindly. A dashing couple from London, Mary Crawford and her brother Henry, enter this stable, rural world. They succeed in dazzling everyone ant Mansfield Park, except for Fanny, who sees through their shallow veneer. Throughout the dramatic events that follow it is she who is able to bring back some stability to the ruptured lives of those around her.
One of the great novels of the nineteenth century, Mansfield Park echoes Jane Austen's fears and awareness of the dawn of a modern age, which was to bring about a complete break from the old country traditions and way of life."

The only book by Jane Austen that I hadn't read yet... considering only her six more famous books!

I would give it a ten if it weren't for the somewhat lengthy narration.. maybe it's me, but I felt the story was very slow, and then in the end everything happens fast and there isn't much detail about what happens to each character...

It's on its way to tbairrao...
I hope you enjoy it! :)

Finally I got the time to start reading this book!
I hope I'll enjoy it as much as all the Jane Austen's books I've read...

Thank you ichigochi :)

I''ve finally finished reading Mansfield Park and I have to say it''s not one of my favourites from Jane Austen''s colection. I clearly recomend Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion. But never the less I enjoyed reading it and now the book is traveling back home to ichigochi. By the way I agree with your journal entry 2...

Thank you for trusting me with your book :)

It's back with me and available for new travels.

I'm glad you enjoyed the reading, tbairrao!
Thank you for taking good care of it :)
