Mansfield Park

Description

Jane Austen s complex and insightful study of manners, morality, and social class, now in a beautiful gift edition for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line. When ten-year-old Fanny Price is plucked from squalor to be raised in comfort among her well-to-do relatives at the elegant Mansfield Park, only her cousin Edmund notices her homesickness and distress. Bolstered by Edmund s kindness, Fanny begins to thrive as a useful and happy member of the household, and her natural feelings of gratitude and respect for Edmund start to grow into something deeper. But when sophisticated Londoners Henry and Mary Crawford arrive at Mansfield Park, trouble arrives with them, and Fanny s hard-won peace is threatened by the chaos the Crawfords leave in their wake.
