Wunderbare Geschichte, meiner Meinung nach auch sehr realistisch. Hat sich leider nicht ganz so gut lesen lassen wie Stolz & Vorurteil (das bleibt einfach unangefochten). Trotzdem ein tolles Buch in gewohnter Jane-Austen-Art.

In today’s day and age, we (especially women) are being bombarded with books and movies full of strong female characters that exhibit a lot of independence and bravery. However, not all women want nor can identify with this modern idealized archetype. For that reason, reading a novel by Jane Austen is a welcomed change. In “Persuasion”, Anne Elliot embodies a highly empathic and sensitive woman who carries her abundant emotional microcosm hidden from the external world. Anne is introverted and placed her own needs and desires second when she let her father persuade her not to marry the man, she truly loved years prior to the storyline. When he reappears in her life, the question arises whether their love can receive a second chance. Secondly of course, whether Anne is at last able to respect her wishes instead of constantly meeting the needs of others in her life at the cost of her own happiness.
