Ursula K. Le Guin recommended Mansfield Park in Books (curated)

 
Mansfield Park
Mansfield Park
Jane Austen, Tim Luscombe | 2012 | Film & TV
7.7 (12 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park is the least popular of her works. The heroine, Fanny Price, isn’t feisty, fiery, and likable — she’s poor, shy, insecure, introverted, and awfully law-abiding. But I love her for her courage. Despite shame and contempt, she holds to what she thinks is right. Her story, like the others here, has given me deep pleasure and a whole lot to think about."

I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED this book! The title and cover are a bit deceiving but this novel is reminiscent of Manhattan Beach. The strength and bond of the women in this book is inspiring. Aunt Charlotte might be my favorite character ever! Resilience and courage during wartime was found in many forms. This one was marvelous. One of my favorite books of the year!

I LOVE this cover!! Don’t you? It is what made me stop and look at the description! …. And I was hooked. I had never read anything by Angela K. Couch, but I enjoy finding new authors.

I so enjoyed the way Angela K. Couch described the characters and their surroundings, it was vividly done and was very well researched. I loved Towan, he is a total dream-worthy guy. Towan displayed courage, patience, and an overabundance of forgiveness. All the while struggling with knowing who he is and whom God wants him to be. Christiana was interesting…. I think she showed courage, and strength in the face of her situation, but I was baffled by some of her choices in life (probably just because they are so far from what I’d make in her situation).

Overall, I really enjoyed the plot/setting of the book and thought that it was well researched, and everything seemed to fit the timeline. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the great descriptions of characters and their surroundings. The prominent aspect of finding out whom God wants you to be and having courage no matter what may come your way.
