This Jane Austen novel has at it’s heart an anti-heroine. Miss Fanny Price is invited to live with her rich uncle, aunt and cousins as an act of charity and is treated perhaps a little unfairly, a little more strictly. Made to feel her inferiority.

She is a prim and proper miss. Timid and shy. Never puts herself forward or stands up for herself. A mouse.

Frankly, I wanted to slap her! She is so wet.

Not like other Austen heroines like Emma and Elisabeth Bennett.

In the end I didn’t really care what happened to her, and maybe Austen didn’t either as she wraps up the story – which drags in parts – with haste.

The version I read had loads of footnotes which irritated me for the most part as they referred to pages at the back of the book. I’d much prefer the notes to be at the bottom of the page – if there at all.

In fact it is only Mrs Norris’s attitude to Fanny that gave me some sympathy for our heroine.

Austen is pretty sarcastic in this novel… more than I’ve noticed in others… particularly in the first half. She is less scathing, or so it seemed to me, as the novel wore on.

This is not my favourite Jane Austen novel. I like to like my heroines. However it’s still worth the read.
