Persuasion

What a lovely book this was! Probably my second most favorite Jane Austen work.

We have a second chance romance between two utterly sensible, kind and honorable people, which I am starting to understand is what I like in romance.

I particularly appreciated the fact that the main characters were more mature (if the age of 27 can be considered as such, and given the usual age range for historical romance heroines, I think it should be).

The story is quick and easy to read and as always features some rather illustrious characters.

Anne is definitely a lovely main character and Captain Wentworth was a suitable and believable love interest.
