Mansfield Park

By Jane Austen

"Fanny Price, is a young girl from a relatively poor family, raised by her rich uncle and aunt, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, at Mansfield Park. She grows up with her four cousins, Tom Bertram, Edmund Bertram, Maria Bertram and Julia, but is always treated as inferior to them; only Edmund shows his real kindness. He is also the most virtuous of the siblings: Maria and Julia are vain and spoiled, while Tom is an irresponsible gambler. Over time, Fanny's gratitude for Edmund's kindness secretly grows into romantic love."

Providing you're familiar with the writing style of the period, and providing you enjoy bbooks by the likes of Jane Austen, then you may enjoy this book. Personally I found it to be a reasonably good book, though not really one that will be making it in to my favourites any time soon. Still, it was a relatively enjoyable read.
