I absolutely love this book!
And I'm only halfway through.
Nothing beats Austen when it comes to capturing romance with such wit, elegance and accuracy - and so deliciously.
It's a book to be savoured. Too precious to be rushed. No one writes like this anymore.
And it's theme? Of waiting. Regret. Missed opportunities. Decisions. Possibilities. Hope.
It's all about timing. No doubt why it resonates right now.

'How eloquent could Anne Elliot have been, - how eloquent, at least, were her wishes on the side of early attachment, and a cheerful confidence in futurity, against that over-anxious caution which seems to insult exertion and distrust Providence! - She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older - the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.'
