Pride and Prejudice is probably my favorite of all her books, but Persuasion probably runs second for me. I saw the BBC version of Persuasion. It wasn't even very good, but still, even mediocre Austen is better than most.
Whatever else you might say about her, she was the master of yearning. So little amounts to so much.
And, just a little sigh is reserved for her men.
Mr. Darcy ardently admired Elizabeth Bennett, in spite of everything.
Captain Wentworth never stopped loving Anne Elliot, even after 8 years of heartbreak.
Maybe more than a little sigh is reserved for her men.
