Why read it?

1 author picked Faults of Understanding as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I really enjoy watching Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy working hard to make their marriage work. I admire her determination to make the best of the situation, and I love seeing Darcy fall in love with her all over again.
