This gorgeous Cranford edition saw me through the last week of Persuasion, through the necessary tedium of Mrs. Smith's backstory and into the sheer stomach-churning joy of Wentworth's letter. Truly, nothing I've ever read in any romance comes close to the power of that entire chapter, culminating with *the greatest* letter any man, fictional or living, has ever put to paper. Do not fight me on this, I will live happily in the hyperbole forever!

Chapter 23 (Volume II, Chapter 11) "The letter, with a direction hardly legible, to Miss A. E." - Persuasion

I love this Signet Classic mass market in my collection. ✉️

A book about second chances & love that survives

8 yrs ago Anne Elliot was advised by friends and family to turn the proposal of Captain Wentworth since he didn‘t have enough money. Now things have changed, the Elliot‘s is letting out their home to live in Bath for awhile. There Anne meets her lost love again

& off course as in any Austen, there‘s complications and someone isn‘t as nice as they seem to be

Chapter 22 (Volume II, Chapter 10): "I hope you do not think I am so illiberal as to want every man to have the same objects and pleasures as myself. I have a great value for Benwick; and when one can but get him to talk, he has plenty to say. His reading has done him no harm, for he has fought as well as read." - Persuasion

Charles Musgrove said something logical. ?

Crinoline_Laphroaig Morning cuppa and a chapter by the fire. Cool this morning 47F/8C but looks to be beautiful day with sunshine and high of 59F/15C. Plan to spend afternoon in the garden.

Sparklemn I‘m seeing so many posts about Persuasion that I‘ve decided on a re-read. I don‘t remember much of the story but I do remember that I read it cover to cover in one day! 2h

Ch. 21 (Vol. II, Ch. 9): him. "Hear the truth, therefore, now, while you are unprejudiced." - Persuasion.

Mrs Smith spills the tea! ?

Here's a lovely flashback to Pemberlittens readalong back in 2021. We dismantled The Glasshouse and moved it bit by bit to new house. All pieces are neatly stacked in a corner of the shop building, to hopefully rise again one day.

Chapter 20 (Volume II, Chapter 8.) “You were a good while at Lyme, I think?”

Seaside is such a big part of Persuasion's storyline. Has me thinking about that time I carried The Lonely Shore: Jane Austen and the Sea by Julia Fry with me on vacation just so I could read on the beach.

Because it was a gift I was extra careful not to get it wet or full of sand. 🌊

Ch19 (Vol II, Ch 7) "While Admiral Croft was taking this walk with Anne, and expressing his wish of getting Captain Wentworth to Bath, Captain Wentworth was already on his way thither. Before Mrs. Croft had written, he was arrived; and the very next time Anne walked out, she saw him."

Persuasion just inspires walking. I took late afternoon walk to the pond and read my chapter. ?
