I really like Jane Austen so I decided to read this novel and now I understand why some people say that it is different to the other ones, maybe more mature. The plot is not centered in a young woman anymore, and that offers Austen the possibility of exploring new realities and problematics. As usual, the novel is very well written, in her characteristic style. I missed the use of really witty and smart dialogues (a style mark that give this author recognition), since in this novel she favours descriptions and the narrative over the dialogues, or at least that’s the impression I got. Anne is a lovely character, but she didn’t struck me in the way that, for example, Elizabeth Bennet did since the beginning, but that may be a case of who I relate more with. At times I found the plot a bit predictable, but with all, I still found the book interesting and I have to admit that at some parts I couldn’t fight a smile or a gasp.
