I revisited Jane Austen after at least a decade since my first and only read, and this was so much more enjoyable than I remembered. Austen's dry humor, snappy banter and over-the-top characters had me smiling from start to finish, and I so appreciated the commitment to demonstrative personal growth for our main characters. An English classic deserving of the moniker. And the narration by Kate Reading?! Perfect.
