Re-read because, like some of the last few reviews I see posted, I wanted to read Persuasion again so that I could watch the new Netflix adaptation and have fresh eyes with which to bash it (like so many of the YouTube reviews I have seen posted - so excited to watch those too). Hilariously, the introduction to this Vintage Classics edition, written in 2014, discusses a terrible 2007 TV adaptation (which I haven't seen but might try to seek out now) and states, "fans of Jane Austen never forgive a wonky adaptation". Nothing really to review, this book is undeniably great (if Austen is your thing).
