<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><STRONG>Finding a husband is hardly
Elizabeth Bennet's most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous
matchmaking mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it's difficult to escape
the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but
enigmatic Mr. Darcy, she is determined not to let her feelings triumph over her
own good sense -- but the truth turns out to be slipperier than it seems. In a
society where subtle snubs and deceit proliferate, is it possible for Elizabeth
and Darcy to look beyond his pride and her prejudice, and to make the best match
of all? </STRONG></FONT></DIV></DIV>
