REVIEW: Persuation (Jane Austen)
Author: Jane Austen
My rating: 3.5/5.
Premise: Anne Elliot, bullied or ignored by her father and sisters, relinquished her hopes of love when she was forced to reject Captain Wentworth. Now, years later, they meet again and she stays quietly in the background as he courts the lively and affectionate Louisa Musgrove.
I read this on the back of Sense and Sensibility, so I was used to the writing style and language when reading Persuasion. I did enjoy this book, again, Jane Austen creates such vivid characters - which helps when there are many similar names floating around 😂. One thing I do love in Jane Austen's books is that they're all set in local counties to me, so I know most of the locations well. I preferred Sense and Sensibility as I found Persuasion slower in pace. But overall, a good yarn.
