Elizabeth Bennet is staying at Netherfield Park as her sister prepares to marry Mr. Bingley. Mr. Darcy was set in his ways and could think of no cause to change them. But Elizabeth disagreed, eliciting a promise from him that he would in no way try to manage or inconvenience her during her stay at Netherfield. Darcy had not taken into account Elizabeth's spirited independence. And Elizabeth had equally misjudged Darcy's good intentions.
I forced myself through over 400 pages before I have up! 400 pages of not knowing why Jane has backbone with everyone except Caroline, Why despite convention of the time Jane is spending the days before her wedding living at Netherfeild, or what motivates anyone to behave so differential than they where created by JA. The whole left by all the unanswered questions make this an indifferent read at best.
