Persuasion | Jane Austen

Pickpick

I love this book so much! Rereading it reminded me of how Anne and Captain Wentworth‘s maturity leads to a deeper connection when they are reunited. They better understand life and their own foibles. They appreciate true connection when they find it and learn to trust their own decisions and worth. I loved reading it with @BkClubCare and this gorgeous edition from her full of letters and maps made it even more special. #persuasion2025

Ruthiella I feel like I only appreciated this one when I was older. When I first read it, I was impatient with Anne‘s passivity and her giving in to her family years before. But when I read it the second time, I better understood both her and Captain Wentworth‘s trajectory from young and impulsive to older and wiser. 1h

I enjoyed this more than any since the first book. The romance is really heating up and there is *drama*! And the solutions of the mysteries are cleverly deduced.

I'm hoping the next book will have a HEA because I'm not sure my heart can take much more!

LOVED it! Thank you @AvidReader25 for #BuddyRead -ing this with me. #Persuasion2025

The narration by Greta Scacchi is excellent, must be said.

AvidReader25 What did you think of Wentworth‘s letter?!?! 3d
BkClubCare @AvidReader25 - such passion! And courage - I loved Anne‘s reaction and how everyone thought she was ill and she couldn‘t get away to process. Plus, the assertion for both Captains to be sure to come to the “party” and they all thought she meant only to be polite to Harville. 😊 2d
AvidReader25 @BkClubCare Yes! And I love that we had a chance to actually see their conversation afterwards. I feel like that‘s so rarely happens in Austen. I love that they shared what they were feeling and how they were processing things and we saw the depth of their maturity, taking ownership of mistakes and assumptions they had made. 2d

Fanny and Edmund are very happy that Sir Thomas is planning to sell his Antigua plantation, so the family will no longer bear the sin of being involved in the slave trade.

Another Mr. Darcy & Miss Tilney mystery for my annual celebration of Austenian August. I love that with each addition to the series, Gray has more of her own characters/lore to weave in & refer to, as well as those of Austen‘s novels that are the foundation.

As this one featured so much from Mansfield Park, I worried I wouldn‘t care for it as much - that‘s my least favorite Austen by a large margin - but I should have had faith. A delight.

ravenlee I totally agree about the Mansfield Park part - I was on the fence, leaning toward dislike, but I was wrong. And happily so! 6d

Jonathan sighed. He knew the rules of ettiquete as well as any (and better than most), but he could not see the sense of any rule that made it impolite to keep to one's own house and read one's own books.

Sace I agree with Johnathan. 1w
