Aged ten, Fanny Price is sent to live with her wealthier relations, the
Bertrams, at Mansfield Park. However, life there is not as she imagined.
Treated with disdain by three of her cousins, she finds her only comfort
in the kindness of the fourth, Edmund. As they grow, their friendship
develops into romantic love - until the arrival of Henry Crawford and
his charming sister Mary causes an emotional upheaval that no one in the
family expects.
