Emma and I’s first read together! I loved being able to process what I had read with her especially since the language was more complex, and at times required more unfurling. That being said, I did love Jane Austin’s prose because her sentence structure, the many names of the characters, and the older English words, required my full attention, which drew me into to story and the period. I was quite pleased with the ending, once the action got going it wrapped up all rather quickly. Anne and Captain Wentworth’s love story is a true slow burn which makes the ending all the more sweeter. One of my goals for this year was to read more classics and I believe this selection was the perfect place to start.
