Finished "Persuasion". What a beautiful book. I truly understand Adam Berwick's "It's how it makes you feel" comment in your wonderful book. I've picked up S & S and Northanger. MP pretty hard to find in rural bookstores in West Virginia. What do you suggest next?

So glad you too loved "Persuasion," and it's a perfect book to read heading into or during the fall. So elegiac and full of possibility. For your next pick, I am going to lean on the recommendation of a recent book club meeting I attended, where a group of non-Austen readers tried "Northanger Abbey" for the first time and were pleasantly surprised by how fresh the humour was. I'd try "Sense and Sensibility" after that, because I find it the most similar to "Persuasion" in terms of tone and theme and that's a lot of "feels" for two back-to-back reads. Thank you for embracing Austen's works like this in such a short period of time. She is the perfect author for solace during all our current challenges. Keep safe and well, Natalie
