Evocative Object




My Evocative object is my copy of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. I have read this book so many times I have lost count. I received this copy on my first trip to England from a new friend I met there. I felt so close to Jane Austen's world as I read through it in England. I would glance out a train window and wondered if Jane had see the same shore line or field.
I love the story of Pride & prejudice. Elizabeth Bennett is my favorite literary heroine. She is strong and brave but knows when she cannot fight true love. I feel connected to these characters every time I read it and can feel their pain and excitement as if I were there.

This is my favorite edition of this book and it holds many memories for me.
