I finished 'Mansfield Park' today.
Probably not one of my favourite works by Austen, but it was an ok story.
Fanny Price—I found—was like Cindarella: abused and mocked by her cousins, yet was able to have a happy ending with Edmund, whereas Sir Henry was at times an annoyance for his persistence to win Fanny's heart.
Discussions on theatre, Antigua (slavery), and religion were inviting for a reader like me.
