SCI BC peer Lisa and the book club readers are currently reading Mansfield Park by Jane Austen.
Mansfield Park is Austen’s third published novel and perhaps the most controversial. The protagonist, Fanny Price, is plucked from the poverty of her family home to grow up as a companion to her wealthy cousins at Mansfield Park where she is acutely aware of her own humble background. In their father’s absence, her cousins befriend two new neighbours with a reckless taste for flirtation and the glamours of city life.
