This novel follows the lives of the Bennet sisters in rural England during the early nineteenth century. It focuses on themes of marriage, social status, and personal character. The language is formal and reflects the social conventions of the period. You will encounter complex sentence structures and a vocabulary that includes many terms related to domestic life and social hierarchy. This book is a demanding read because it relies on irony and subtle dialogue to reveal the motivations of its characters.

Questions about this book
What level of English do I need for this book?
The estimate is B1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 10 h 36 min at a native pace, spread over 62 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
