I'm glad I read this book for a class, because otherwise I don't think I would have liked it as much as I did. Austen is a genius at social subtleties that I would have missed if I hadn't had a professor and other classmates to help me pick them up. All in all, this book is for people-watchers, as I think most of Austen's books probably are. She presents lots of different kinds of people, puts them together, and watches to see what happens. I'll need to read more of her work to become more attuned to picking up her satirical cuts.
I dislike this style and genre soo much. It's a predictable plot line, the characters are infuriating and I vow to never read another one, I don't care if my book club tries to guilt me.
Continuing my streak of Jane Austen as the first book of the year.

I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.
You should have heard the noise that came out of me when I read the love declaration. Stunning, no words.

It's been a while since I last read Persuasion but it was so much fun!
Almost as good as Pride and Prejudice if not better. I think Anne Eliot is the kindest person trapped with an idiotic family.
The ending gave me goosebumps even though I knew what would happen. That letter! Ah! Such a sweet story.
Like Wentworth, I do not agree that Lady Russel was right in the way she persuaded Anne.
Why is there not a good movie adaptation of this?
