Publisher's Synopsis
When Fannie Price is sent to live with her rich uncle and aunt Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram at the age of ten, she finds that she is treated like a poor unwanted cousin. Most of the novel features Fannie at age eighteen and nineteen. She's been in love with her cousin Edmund, who is the only one of her cousins to show her any true kindness. The problem is that Edmund is in love with Mary Crawford. Mansfield Park is perhaps Jane Austen's most controversial novel, and it features a good deal of social satire.
