Pride and Prejudice

Summary

With a foreword by Ali Hazelwood, author of The Love Hypothesis and Love, Theoretically

Elizabeth Bennet must get married – her family’s status depends on it. But she and Mr Darcy, her suitor, don’t exactly see eye to eye. He’s embarrassed her, she’s snubbed him. As a pair, they’re headed for disaster.

In one of the world’s most enduring love stories, both would-be lovers must overcome their personal pride and social prejudices to allow their turbulent, but true, love to bloom.

Fall head over heels for First Impressions, Puffin Classics’ boldly designed new YA Jane Austen collection. Like all the best romcoms, Austen’s novels are full of meet-cutes, missed connections and drama; they are masterclasses in the lost arts of stolen glances and breath-taking gestures.

With a stunning modern design and forewords from leading YA romance authors, this eye-catching six-book series is an open invitation to escape the brutal nonchalance of modern dating and embrace your inner romantic.

Ali Hazelwood is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, as well as a writer of peer-reviewed articles about neurology in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the US to pursue a PhD in neuroscience.

Jane Austen

Jane Austen, the daughter of a clergyman, was born in Hampshire in 1775, and later lived in Bath and the village of Chawton. As a child and teenager, she wrote brilliantly witty stories for her family's amusement, as well as a novella, Lady Susan. Her first published novel was Sense and Sensibility, which appeared in 1811 and was soon followed by Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. Austen died in 1817, and Persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published posthumously in 1818.
