“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
This famous quote is the first sentence of my second published novel, Pride and Prejudice. The phrase has since then been a popular profession often paraphrased for different purposes but upholding the same concept. It was originally called First Impressions and became my most popular novel when published in 1813. My still anonymously written literature was claimed to be a fashionable book of the time, in droll irony that I, a country lady yet of fine edicate, am flippant to fashion!

This is the first novel I read by Austen. I have always liked her work!
ReplyDeleteThough I have never personally read on of your works, I relate to this quote so much. I agree with every word in this sentence. It's so true.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and so very true. You are such an amazing writer. I hope we can share our work later down the road.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Andreadis! And I hope the same Mercy Otis Warren. Perhaps we will run into each other at one of my local formal balls.
