Probably my favorite Austen novel! It was her last book and critics agree it is her most romantic. I adore the heroine (even more than- gasp- Elizabeth Bennett) because she is just an all-around good hearted lady who endures her family's indifference towards her. I, too, was in tears at the end after reading Cpt Wentworth's letter. Such a romantic book.

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE - RIGHT UP THERE WITH PRIDE AND PREJUDICE !!
If you love this book - you must see the BBC movie that was made a few years ago.
More heartwrenching than P&P. You have to get beyond the casting of your heroine... but you fall in love with who she is - just like the Captain does TWICE.

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT !!
I have bought the book and the movie for my shelf.

The second Austen I read, and how dearly do I love her men! Wentworth's letter to Anne had me in tears. This is easily relatable to anyone today, and half the time you'll be thinking, "LOOK AT EACH OTHER, FOR GOD'S SAKE!" (At least, I was.) An excellent book that will most definitely hold a special place in my heart.
