Description

A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.

    Thankfully the last 1/3 of the book was better than the first two sections. If I was ‘t determined to finish, I would have given up less than 1/2 through..

  • Officially My Favorite Classical Novel!!

    This was pleasantly unexpected! Hands down my favorite classic novel so far! Jane Austen does an excellent job in building and growing Anne’s character throughout the story. It’s so well written and so many themes such as prestige, family backgrounds, appearances, bias, and so much more that’s discussed in the book through conversations between the characters. Long story short…it’s a MUST read!

    Jane Austin never disappoints. She has a wonderful skill of gently leading her readers into her world and inviting them to sit down for tea and visit as intimate friends. She makes her readers feel a part of the story.

    Appreciating Austen now in a way I didn’t understand her in high school I’m so glad to be getting the opportunity to read her works now.

    2 stars is being generous. This story slogs along in a boring age when people are purely narcissistic. Very dissapointing.
