Persuasion by Jane Austen
Jane Austen has been difficult for some of the participants but there are at least two of us who are loving every second.
Life got overly dramatic for me in the middle of Persuasion but I persevered and really enjoyed it.
So many people told me this is their favorite Austen novel and although I really enjoyed it, I can't say I liked it more than S&S.
I just love the way Jane Austen fleshes out her characters. They are so multi-layered and their faults aren't hidden.
Anne is a goody goody but everyone adores her...I even liked her and I hate goody goodies! (Not really!)
I loved how Captain Wentworth gave her the cold shoulder at first, too. She sort of deserved it for not standing up to Lady Russell!
Pride and Prejudice is next. I've read this one before but I'll give it a once-over to refresh my drink.

I like Wentworth for doing that as well. It makes the ending that much better too.
Yes...that letter he wrote actually gave me chills.
Isn't it amazing that something written so long ago could give us all such amazing reactions even today?
