Anne Eliot is my favourite Austen heroine, she's so calm and she has an inner strength that's admirable. Captain Wentworth frustrated me for the first half of the novel the first time I read it, but I've come to love how emotional he really is. And the letter at the end--guh! <333 The most romantic letter I've ever read in literature :)<br /><br />I'm usually pretty =S about Jane Austen prequels and sequels and the related, but I highly recommend Amanda Grange's <i>Captain Wentworth's Diary</i>. It's <i>Persuasion</i> from Wentworth's perspective, but it does start as a prequel of sorts with how he and Anne meets and stuff :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471792392721737729.post-15061544320388576272015-02-24T10:47:57.121-07:002015-02-24T10:47:57.121-07:00Which movie are you going to watch?
