Persuasion
I love this book, out of all the Jane Austen's books I have read so far, I myself most resemble Anne. I have seen all the movies for the books (repeatedly), and am currently watching them again on PBS's "Masterpiece". I really connected with this character, and couldn't wait to see how the "real" story went for her. The movies are great, but reading the books is far more superior. WOW!! What a letter from Wentworth to Anne, it made me truly giddy and happy for her. I can see my home copy becoming dogeared. It's a really good read.

I LOVED this book as well. I love Jane Austen altoghether, but this and Pride & Prejudice are my absolute favorites. My own relationship with my husband had taken somewhat the same toll as Annes and Wentworths. Seperated for a few years... coming to find out that the love was stronger than ever! I LOVED THIS! That letter from Wentworth was beyond expression. I was so deeply affected by it i read it time and time again. I will read this again. I hope to see the movie soon. I just fall in love with Jane Austens characters so easily. Ive read a few of her books and once i read them all...i will start over again... with this one.

I also really loved this book!! Although Anne originally seemed rather bland, she grew on me as the story developed and the letter at the end just topped off the whole novel. I havn't seen any of the movies yet but that's definatly on the to-do list. ♥♥
