Initial Impressions so far
Just started Mansfield Park for the umpteenth time - this time I am listening on Audible.
I found a version with Juliet Stevenson, one of my favourite actresses. Listening to it read and following the book will help me as it did with Lord of the Rings. I hope.
Thoughts so far:
Mrs Norris - Why do I want to slap her? She is my stumbling block to liking this book.
Sir Tom Bertram - He is trying, I suppose, but he is still pompous.
Of course, Fanny is crying and miserable - I cried as a child when I moved away from all that I had known at least my immediate family came with me. Fanny has no one. She has been taken from her home and, I think, a loving mother to this cold environment with no one who loves her at all
