" I saw the film on Saturday night. I did try to 'forget' the book and the tv series, but I suppose I was bound to be disappointed in it as I studied P&P for A-level within an inch of its life and so it really was jarring to hear sentences that weren't included in the book."
What does she mean by "I studied P&P for A-level within an inch of its life"? P&P of course is Pride and Prejudice. A-level I suppose is some kind of exam in UK school system.
Thanks.
