A review by clamfish
Persuasion by Jane Austen

4.0

my prof brought notice to how mrs. smith having the worst cards dealt in her life yet still remaining optimistic was jane austen giving her own self life during her dying days and honestly i thought about that a lot. i think it’s so fascinating what writers can and will project into their words and how they make sense of themselves through their writing. i also really liked anne and wentworth their dynamic was interesting as essential ex-lovers who even after 8 years could not lose their orbit of one another… love is so hopeless but it is also so deeply profound. anyways yeah just thinking my thoughts
