Accueillie dans le domaine de Mansfield Park, Fanny est élevée avec ses cousins et cousines qui, à l'exception d'Edmund, la traitent avec indifférence ou mépris. La gratitude et l'affection qu'elle éprouve à l'égard de son cousin se transforment au fil des années en un amour qu'elle garde secret. Et quand enfin un bon parti se déclare, Fanny n'a de choix qu'entre un mariage de raison et un retour à sa condition première... Publié en 1814, Mansfield Park est sans doute le roman le plus ambitieux de Jane Austen. L'auteur de Raison et Sentiments y excelle dans la description des rapports humains complexes qui se tissent entre ses personnages." -- 4e de couv.Le maître de Ballantrae ((Folio ; 3382.
