"acabe com isso de uma vez! termine com esse suspense! resolva-se, comprometa-se, condene-se!"

o mindinho de mary crawford é muito mais interessante do que qualquer coisa que fanny fez ou falou nesse livro. e o final foi tão apressado e sem graça, nem parece que alguém que escreveu algo como a resolução de emma ou de persuasão tenha escrito esse e falado hmm dá um tempinho ai com certeza que (do nada) edmund vai começar a gostar de fanny esquecer a outra e pedir ela em casamento. fontes? não foi preciso

3/5

This book was an emotional rollercoaster and I’m just as surprised as you are that it’s getting 4 stars from me

I love Mansfield Park. There, said it. Honestly though, it's the Austen I've had the most interesting conversations about, mostly because it's probably the least accessible from a modern standpoint in terms of action/ Fanny's passiveness, and Fanny is so easy to dismiss as a heroine.

I was rooting for the wrong guy all along and that killed my momentum in reading. It was with her cousin all alonggggg
lighthearted slow-paced

Poor, meek, noble Fanny. How good she is and how contemptible her family. How moral she is against that rake's pursuits, what a paragon of feminine sense and sensibility, etc., etc.

I like Jane Austen, but I found this so dull. There was not one character I truly enjoyed, and the story was too long for so little to happen that interested me. The subversion of the "reformed rake" trope was interesting, however.
