I LOVE all by Jane Austen...Persuasion is such a lovely story! Be sure you see the 1995 film version of this with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds--VERY *swoon-worthy* ;o) Happy Day, Beverly... Thanks for stopping by my new place. Great to catch up with you ((HUGS))

Good morning Beverly, I forgot to comment on Weds. I just did. Jane Austen is a favorite writer of mine and I am sure I read this book but I honestly can't remember the story. I need to check out the book from the library and read it again???

Love you, Jeanne

i stayed up half the night watching Emma on TV. I am not much of a reader, but sure like the movies they make from her books. I guess I am lazy. Thanks, Richard from My Old Historic House.

I just re-started the entire set a couple of months ago, when I learned to use my Nook. It's only for picking up for the car, or for outside, usually, so I've only finished EMMA and am about a third-of-the-way through MANSFIELD PARK. There's just something about those convoluted, elegant sentences, those phrases of centuries ago, those well-spoken, intelligent people, which just carries me to another place. Though I DO occasionally come back slowly to Earth, saying things like, "I DO think it's going to rain---do not YOU?" or asking Sweetpea "Shall we take a turn in the garden before lunch?" for a while before I land back in now-speak.

Miss A DID beat all, didn't she?

Hi, Beverly. It's hard to go wrong with Jane Austen. It's nice to have authors you can trust for a well-told story, isn't it?

Beverly - This has ALWAYS been one of my favorites. I think Anne Eliot was her most mature heroine and some of the lines are so powerful - revealing the human heart.
The movie with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds from BBC is fabulous!

Joy!
Kathy

I have a complete set of Jane Austin novels waiting to be read. Glad to know that Persuasion won your heart, Beverly. I'm still in Colorado --flying back this weekend. :)

Persuasion is one of my favorite Austens, too. And I see your book has an intro by another favorite author of mine, Margaret Drabble!

Beverly, that is so cool—I also finished Persuasion just this week. What are the chances? I did enjoy that movie, the Jane Austen Book Club (or similar title) and it inspired me to read the ones I haven't yet. My sister said she envied me to have some JA books still to discover new!
