"A man does not recover from such a devotion of the heart to such a woman. He ought not, he does not."

This is such a darling book! For years, Pride and Prejudice has stood as one of my all time favorite books and certainly my favorite from Jane Austen, but Persuasion has now surpassed it.

Featured is the classic Austen animosity between two characters that are clearly in love, funny observations, and a lovely heroine. Truly what more could you need.
