Mansfield Park - Jane Austen - ★★★★.½
Recommended, for sure, to those who enjoy character-oriented classics and appreciate layered-but-not-necessarily-likeable characters. It was lovely to read a full-length Austen work after almost a decade. But to be honest, I am not sure if I will pick up Mansfield Park yet again. It is much too sombre, and the characters aren’t as striking as in her other novels, though they depict an eclectic panoply of human nature. No regret rereading it, but maybe, two times is good enough for this novel.
