I loved Pride & Prejudice, and I really enjoy how Austen's books are so timeless that the themes and even the content can be made modern so effortlessly!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why that particular book has gone to inspire so many retellings/modern stories? I guess because the women in it have more agency than the most of their contemporaries, and they get the men they want and their respect too, though in different ways and by different means? (I did read the book for one of my English classes at uni).
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these books, but I have read every single one of Jane Austen's books. :)
