Mike Pazzo was my husband. He was also a narcissist. Every conversation with Mike was a fight. I couldn’t hold my own, much less win those fights. He beat me down with his barrage of caustic words and his superior argumentative techniques. And he loved it. Sometimes I’d fall at his feet, prostrate in absolute abject defeat just to get him to stop yelling at me. I’m not even sure whether I was being sarcastic or authentic in my show of submission. In those moments, he would ball up his fists in silent fury - and walk away. That is when I began to wonder when he would hit me.

Alla sua pubblicazione nel 1814, Mansfield Park riscosse un immediato successo, tanto che nel 1816 fu tradotto in francese. Il romanzo è un delizioso affresco corale imbastito intorno alla protagonista, Fanny Price, che, partendo dalla sua umile casa piena di fratelli, si ritrova catapultata a soli nove anni nella ricca tenuta dei parenti nobili, i Bertram, a Mansfield Park. Fanciulla di sani principi e grande timidezza, Fanny trova nel cugino Edmund l’unica guida e sostegno alla sua crescita.
