![]() I also want to plug this book for its focus on compatibility! I don’t know how modern it was at the time, but I thought the way that the more sensible characters in this book approached romance was really smart. ![]() I enjoyed Austen’s ability to tease out the nuance in these, from the Price’s marriage, which was an unwise marriage because it was based solely on the basis of feeling to the Rushworth’s marriage which was an equally unwise marriage because it was based solely on the basis of money. What I loved the most was that this book, more than most of her books, hinged not on romantic feelings but on marriage as an economic transaction, which is likely more realistic. ![]() I remember it well, and while it isn’t my least favorite Jane Austen book (more on that later), I didn’t remember loving it as much as some of the others. ![]()
