Pride and Prejudice (A Read with Jenna Book Club Pick)

A READ WITH JENNA TODAY SHOW BOOK CLUB PICK * This enduring classic about the perils of first impressions has enthralled generations of readers with its romantic drama and unforgettably witty and intelligent heroine. Coming soon to Netflix and starring Emma Corrin and Jack Lowden.

With a new introduction by Nicola Yoon.

When Elizabeth Bennet first encounters the aristocratic Fitzwilliam Darcy at a ball, the two young people are mutually appalled—she by his arrogance and aloof manners and he by her embarrassingly crass relatives. Though Elizabeth’s future security depends on finding a prosperous husband, she is determined to follow her heart instead. Darcy, meanwhile, finds himself thoroughly unsettled by such an uncommonly lively and headstrong woman. Further misunderstandings widen the gulf between them, before a devastating scandal forces the pair to confront the errors of pride and prejudice that have kept them from recognizing each other’s true worth. Jane Austen’s skill in uniting sparklingly humorous dialogue with profound depths of feeling never found more dazzling expression than in this much-loved novel.
