Alright, so! I actually enjoyed reading this. This was my first Jane Austen novel
I know, blasphemy for an English teacher. I've tried reading Austen before, but maybe
Persuasion wasn't the text to start with.
Things I liked about this book:
- the satirical tone came through
- Henry Tilney is delightful
- the John Thorpe type is very much still around
- *more to come once spoilers are allowed*
