I love this book. It is perfect Autumn reading to me because, despite what I regard as Austen's happiest and most deserved ending, there is an air of melancholy about it (although the awareness that this was Austen's last completed novel and was published after her death may contribute to that).

now that i’ve read this for a second time, i can confidently say that it is my favorite austen (dethroning northanger abbey). i think austen’s prose is at its most deliberate and incisive here, and i love how a sense of melancholy pervades both plot and characters. i also find anne so endearing.

Audiolibro. Plataforma El Libro Total. No soy super fan de Jane Austen, pero sus novelas no me dejan de gustar. Me disfruto mucho la manera que te lleva a ver los personajes desde sí mismos, sus pensamientos, sensaciones y luchas. La clases sociales y las ridiculeces de la época ayudan a vestir el contexto y a entender a los personajes.

Me ayudó a pensar en la fuerza de carácter, en la importancia de cultivar ciertas virtudes de una manera intencional, también, en apreciarlas en otros. En lo vital del discernimiento para leer ciertas circunstancias y tomar decisiones sabias.
Amé el final, aunque sentí que pasó muy rápido, hubiera querido pasar un poco de más tiempo en su desenlace.
