My favorite Jane Austen book. I love to re-read this one.

The first half of the novel was more enjoyable than Pride and Prejudice, but then I got tired of waiting for Wentworth to have more lines!!
Man barely spoke two sentences for 90% of the book, and then spoke for 3 pages non-stop near the end
One sentence synopsis... Ruthless and brilliant, Austen's last complete novel concerns Anne Elliot, a young Englishwoman, reunited with her first love 7 years after their breakup. .
Read it if you like... stories about second chances. .
Dream casting... Ella Hunt as Anne Elliot and Johnny Flynn as Frederick Wentworth.
