Persuasion by Jane Austen
5.0
emotional lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

I love this book even on the umpteenth re-read. Anne is such a lovely heroine. I love the portrayal of the navy and its camaraderie. I love the descriptions of Bath.
I love the backstory between Mr Elliott and Mrs Smith
Sir Walter and Elizabeth are love-to-hate relatives, the Musgroves a lovely contrast, and Mary and her whining is light relief. I love everything about this book!
