When Fanny Price is sent away from her struggling family to live with her wealthy aunt and uncle, life doesn't suddenly transform for her. At least, not for the better. From failed marriage proposals to unavoidable class conflicts, Fanny must learn to fit in to a place where she does not always feel welcome.
As Fanny grows up in the new house, with new rules, and new consequences, she learns about the trials one faces as they enter adulthood. Having nothing to shield her from the constant abuse of her relatives, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, Fanny's life at Mansfield Park is anything but comfortable. Fanny struggles to keep up with the vicious family dynamic among those coming and going at the manor, finding comfort in her only kind relationship with Edmund, the eldest son of Sir and Lady Bertram.
When Henry Crawford and his sister Mary arrive at Mansfield Park, suddenly things start to get complicated. As a web of lies, jealousy, and failed attempts at love circulate through the house, Fanny must set aside her own desires to keep the truth from slipping through her fingers.

Über den Autor / die Autorin
Jane Austen (1775-1817)
One of the world's most famous and prolific women authors, Jane Austen was born in Hampshire, England. Austen remains a dearly loved novelist, thanks to her social commentary on the British gentry at the time. She extensively wrote about women and their dependence on men, the said and unsaid rules of patriarchy, and what they had to do in order to either gain or retain their social standing. Crafted with classic humour, wit, and sarcasm, Austen's writing transcends the barriers of age and time.
Jane Austen started writing at a young age for the amusement of those around her, as gifts for loved ones - and, interestingly, as a way of catharsis. Given that the society at the time viewed women in restricted social roles - as merely mothers and wives - Austen published her books anonymously. The truth was only made public by her brother, Henry, after her death in 1817.
Of her published novels - some of which include Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey - Pride and Prejudice remains one of the best-loved works among readers to this day. She also wrote an adapted play, titled Sir Charles Grandison, and a satire called Plan of a Novel in addition to multiple poems, letters, and prayers during her lifetime.
