Juliet Stevenson's narration of one of Austen's two best novels is perfection.

La verdad ha pasado tanto tiempo desde que la leí la primera vez que no recordaba mucho de lo que sucedía.
Es una novela que empieza demasiado lenta pero también se le atribuye al hecho de que el vocabulario y la forma de escribir es muy distinta a lo que nos acostumbramos recientemente, así que no es de extrañar que fuera bastante difícil para muchos el poder conectar con la historia en un inicio.
Normalmente las novelas de Austen siempre me han gustado mucho y creo que esta es una de las que menos encuentro aprecio.


Por último, odio al Señor Elliot.
Nada más que decir.

Ok so... firstly im not a native english speaker so when i decided to read persuasion in english when im not customed to reading in english was ,lets say a mistake.There wer some parts were i got confused with the storyline and even the charactrers but i knew what was going on i just dont remember details.A big part of my misunderstandment was because i was so "excited" to read a book at its "original" language but i should have started with a more modern book.(i may reread this in the future just to see if it kicks differently)

i had high expectations for this book since i’ve heard people say it’s jane austen’s most beautiful book or something like that. it was beautiful but idk

i sort of felt as if i needed to see anne and wentworth’s past relationship to actually be able to be attached to them as a couple bc throughout the book it was just him ignoring her and stuff 😭. it didn’t make me like him all that much. i did think that the letter thing was cute though!

This is my first Jane Austen novel and I must say that it was a disappointment. I was very bored most of the time. I do hope I enjoy her other novels more. Snooze fest.
