Persuasion

I just finished reading Jane Austen's Persuasion for my class. I really love the book. It was even better the second time around. Have you seen the latest BBC production? It's the version that we'll be watching in my class. Yea!

Thursday Text: Persuasion

Last week I finished Jane Austen's Persuasion. It was the last of her novels that I had to read. It seemed more slowly moving and a little less complicated than the others, but I did really like it. If you haven't read it, this may be something of a spoiler (- so stop reading now!).

Captain Wentworth's letter to Anne toward the end is undoubtedly the best part of the book.

... You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever. ... Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. ...
