Persuasion has the makings of a classic novel, but Austen often relies on a “tell, don’t show” style that feels clunky and weighs down the livelier, more in-the-moment scenes.

It's a bit dull and the pace is too slow for me. However, how Jane Austen crafted Anne's character and the other female characters are so well and I love and appreciate the descriptions and mentioning of many aspects of everyday life. It's not that dramatic and is more real. Truthfully the ending more made up for it.

Eine bezaubernde Geschichte von Anne Elliot, die sich ihren Ex-Fiance Captain Wentworth zurückwünscht, der gerade wieder in ihrem Leben auftaucht. Vor meinem Besuch in Bath nächsten Monat wollte ich es unbedingt lesen.
Captain Wentworth ist für mich fast genauso bezaubernd wie Mr. Darcy, man hofft und schmachtet mit Anne mit. 
Ich konnte die Gefühle so gut nachvollziehen (besonders aktuell) wie es ist, die Liebe eines Verflossenen, der immer im Herzen geblieben ist, herbei zu sehen.
Manchmal ist diese Abweisung schlimmer als die eines Fremden. Jedenfalls eine absolute Zeitreise. Ich bin aber dankbar, dass man heutzutage besser kommunizieren kann. 😄

I joined a book club and this is the February book. Can I put down the sci-fi/fantasy stuff I've been craving and read it?

...I understand the point of this book, in its time and now, but...He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not, blahh blah blah.
