My Novel of The Month: 'Persuasion' - Jane Austen

My Novel of The Month:

'Persuasion' - Jane Austen:



I'm going to do a full review of 'Persuasion' later on this week, as I absolutely LOVE this novel. For now however, I will just tell you that if you're a fan of Austen and have not read this book yet - you need to. In my opinion, it is her greatest literary achievement - Captain Wentworth is by far the best Austinian hero, his letter at the end of the novel confessing his love for Anne Elliot...breathtaking. You shall be swooning over him I'm sure!

If you are particular fans of Austen Adaptations, such as the Keira Knightly 'Pride and Prejudice, I suggest the brilliant 2007 version with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones (who makes a dashing Wentworth!).

Enjoy!
