“Take whatever you like, and get away.“

– Mr. Bennet

Pride and Prejudice is a fatherhood novel.

Yes there’s romance, but the large gap between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy’s first encounter, their hating each other and eventually marrying at the end is filled with Mr. Bennet trying to raise his daughters.
