A review by amandumb
Persuasion by Jane Austen, Deidre Shauna Lynch

5.0

now that i’ve read this for a second time, i can confidently say that it is my favorite austen (dethroning northanger abbey). i think austen’s prose is at its most deliberate and incisive here, and i love how a sense of melancholy pervades both plot and characters. i also find anne so endearing.
