Northanger Abbey is my other fav - great if you're familiar with gothic literature, as it's poking fun at all the tropes that were overused even then.Katie Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844778170761632779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322599747616522091.post-16393011731385049902011-09-26T23:58:28.926+01:002011-09-26T23:58:28.926+01:00I read this earlier in the year and loved it.

I read Pride and Prejudice first and loved it, but then I read Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park and felt a bit let down.<br /><br />It wasn't until I forced myself to read this one that I realised Jane Austen wasn't just a one-hit wonder.<br /><br />I love Emma too; I read that last month, I think.Hanna @ Booking in Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705048655467252248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322599747616522091.post-60791387578073791292011-09-25T22:57:39.329+01:002011-09-25T22:57:39.329+01:00I love Persuasion - for me it's the most uplif...I love Persuasion - for me it's the most uplifting of Austen's books because it reminds me that it's never to late to find yourself a happy-ever-afer ending. The first time I read it I knew it had to end happily (because surely all her books end happily?) but I was still in suspense until the very end. Oooh gosh, you've just reminded me how much I love this books - i'm going to have to go and read it again!Perditahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02572426298008380362noreply@blogger.com
