Please post your thoughts on Mansfield Park. Has anyone seen a good film production of this book?
Thanks!

Feeling like I need to comment in here because it's still empty! I hate to admit it, but I didn't really like this book. I love how it's written (I love Austen's writing style) but I find the story sort of depressing. That family doesn't treat Fanny very well... and all the characters seem completely self-obsessed. The best film version I've seen is the Frances O'Connor version with the scene-stealing Embeth Davidz. And mainly because it plays like a romantic comedy with Fanny completely winking into the camera during the end scene as the fates of each character are revealed.
This is the discussion for Mansfield Park by Jane Austen.
