I realise giving such a low rating to this book could be seen as literary sacrilege.

I have the highest esteem for the novel’s values and finer qualities, being a pioneer in form, style and substance, and so exceeding its contemporary rivals as to leave them largely forgotten by time.

But I use this platform as a record of how much I enjoyed the book and this was a three star reading experience (for me).

‘she looked forward with delight to the time when they should be removed from society so little pleasing to either, to all the comfort and elegance of their family party at Pemberley.’

Where they lived happily ever after, finding fault in all their acquaintances.

I'm finding the characters pretty insufferable, but at least the plot has kicked up a notch.
