Persuasion by Jane Austen
4.0
4/5
Jane Austen can never go wrong with me. Even thought I didn’t love it as much as pride & prejudice this was still an amazing read.
Anne and her family were so much fun to read and learn more about. How they all looked over Anne even since they were little kids made me feel for Anne and lady Russell. Mary’s attention seeking behavior made for a good laugh and so was Elizabeth’s and sir Walters desperation for a friend group with high social rankings.
I loved the story and seeing Anne become part of a social group where she’s not neglected was great and it definitely struck a chord with me.
My one complaint is the fact that Anne didn’t really feel present on the page and that the book was more about what happened around her than about her which made the end less satisfying than I was hoping.
