Elizabeth Bennet is quick witted, intelligent and idealistic. In a society bound by class and wealth, she longs to break free from expectation and marry for love, not for financial convenience. When a wealthy young bachelor and his society friends arrive in the village, her world is turned upside down. Whilst her sister appears to make an instant match, Lizzie's happiness seems out of reach. Can she find love or will her own prejudices get in the way? Jane Austen's beloved story is filled with wit and passion - a perfect escape for summer.Photo Credit: Johan Persson
