Persuasion
by Jane Austen
3.5 for me because the first half was a bit slow for me and dragging along. Not much was happening between Anne and Wentworth, and I found myself waiting for more emotional payoff. I really wish there had been more pining or tension between them early on.
That said, I really enjoyed Anne’s conversations with Captain Benwick and Harville. Their friendships had depth and gave her space to actually express herself.
And then… *the letter*. Wentworth’s profession of love totally made up for the slow build. “You pierce my soul”?? Instantly iconic. I’m a sucker for a heartfelt letter!!!
