In a remote Hertfordshire community, the Bennet family has a sensitive enterprise - Mrs Bennet must find husbands for her five young daughters before too long. So with the arrival of some eligible young men in the neighbourhood, naturally there is excitement. But misconceptions and hasty judgements lead to heartache and scandal before true love and understanding come to the fore in this classic story that sparkles with romance, wit and emotional force.
