A review by chrissi_lange
Persuasion by Jane Austen

3.75

Jane Austen is obviously an amazing writer, but personally this book didn't speak to me that much. Perhaps it's because some of the main themes/issues, e.g. marriage and specified gender roles, is not that relevant (?) in my life. The language is beautiful though. Favourite quote: 
"[...] when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes pleasure" (quote from main character Anne, p. 199)
