Frederick Wentworth, Captain
review 1: The second half of this retelling of Persuasion is excellent as well. I enjoyed seeing Capt. Wentworth visiting his brother. I got caught up in his angst when he was afraid he'd lost Anne forever and would be forced to marry Lydia Musgrove. The scenes between him and Anne when he follows her to Bath are well done to. The author takes the story even further and allows you to enjoy their engagement and elopement.
review 2: I laughed, I cried, I fumed at injustice, I felt the extreme joy of true love triumphant over all obstacles! In a lot of these alternate Austen versions, they overwrite and add modern thoughts and conflicts that just don't fit the story. There was none of that in this book, or in the first volume. While much longer than the original 'Per
... moresuasion,' the abundance of detail does not detract from the story. Perhaps the only caveat I might have would be a couple of instances where the viewpoint goes randomly from Capt. Wentworth to Anne. These instances are short and awkward--she should have stuck all the way through with Frederick's point of view. Otherwise, I enjoyed it thoroughly and hated that it had to end. less

I liked the first part better, even though I like the second party of the story better.
