roboxa's review against another edition
5.0
I'm pretty sure the Captain Wentworth's letter to Anne in the end of the novel was one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. In fact, that entire scene is so well done that I had one of those moments where you just know you read something stunning. My breathe was taken away. The conversation Anne has with Mr. Harville is such a great examination of just how much Anne has grown throughout the novel. When in the beginning she would have never gone as far as to state her opinion in such a forward it was amazing to see her she articulate. And then how that conversation leads to Captain Wentworth's letter was just stunning. I just really had to get that out.
Overall, this novel it beautiful. It is second only to Pride and Prejudice in my opinion however, I can easily see how it is so many people's favorite Jane Austen. I loved it and believe that if anybody wants to get a good grasp of Austen's work this needs to be read.

Jane Austen truly never disappoints. While this is possibly my least favourite of the ones I’ve read, it’s still brilliant, and I am especially fond of Anne Elliot. Austen’s writing is beautiful - “you pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. I have loved none but you.” I enjoyed each and every chapter. I wish we had more romance though, and I also wish more had been said about Anne’s initial engagement.
