Mansfield Park / Jane Austen

X

Popularly dubbed as a 'Wicked Comedy' , Mansfield Park provides all exotic ingredients expected from Jane Austen's work. It exalts strong commitment, and subtly stresses the primacy of good upbringing, an ability to make right choices; defending the virtues of decency and integrity.
The uncomplicated plot is filled with witty dialogue, and the narrative is enchantingly blocked with dramatic episodes that only Ms. Austen could devise. A poor young relative comes to stay at a sprawling country estate, grow up with the family, to unwillingly fall in love with the pious younger son of the hosts. She is pursued by a Rakish neighbor whose sister is her rival for the son's affections... and there is the unmistakable, elegant and impressionable climax that makes the story fit for re-reading, just to enjoy it with renewed passion!
