I have a really nice volume that combines all the books in one big volume, so when I read this, it will be from that book. Great review!

Austen is so adept at creating characters that are maddening, but in a fun way. You almost have to laugh at the ones who are over-the-top asses! And that letter at the end...wasn't that awesome? I think you are right - Austen definitely would have refined the ending had she lived. I just finished a biography on her (reviewed it last week) and she was big into revisions.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-78594747711276125372010-06-16T15:37:13.416+02:002010-06-16T15:37:13.416+02:00I'm glad you like Persuasion, it actually IS m...I'm glad you like Persuasion, it actually IS my favorite Austen.
