So far this novel is moving slowly and I am having a hard time getting into it. But It's Jane Austen's book so I know it will be good in the end.
I just looked up a summary of this book- "Mansfield Park was written between February, 1811 and the summer of 1813. It was the third novel Jane Austen had published and it first appeared on May 4, 1814. During her lifetime, it was attributed only to "The author of Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice", and the author's identity was unknown beyond her family and friends. It is Jane Austen's most complex novel and deals with many different themes, from the education of children, to the differences between appearances and reality."
Is it bad that my heart just sank. That's right ladies and gentlemen, I honestly had no idea what this book was about prior to just reading the same paragraph that you also just read.
Anyways, I was trying to think of ways I related to this novel and nothing much is coming to mind but perhaps as I read more into it things will become evident.
So Until next time- Fin!
