I adore Jane Austen - but she can be something of an acquired taste. And you do have to get into that regency era mindset - where manners are everything.
It's difficult to explain - but there's a bit later in the book where Elizabeth finally stands up for herself and I found myself punching the air when I read it and shouting ' go girl, you fucking tell her ! '
