Review of 'Ylpeys ja ennakkoluulo' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Klassisesta aloituslauseesta ihastuttavaan loppuun nautinnollinen kirja. En ollut ennen lukenut, joten nyt oli korkea aika tutustua tähän klassikkoon. Aiheesta arvostettu, onhan tämä upea rakkaustarina. Yllättävää oli, miten pisteliäästi Austen henkilöitään kuvailee – esimerkiksi rouva Bennettiä kuvaillaan armottomasti.

Hieno klassikko, kaikkien kyllä kannattaisi lukea.
