She is possibly one of the most mature and selfless characters I have ever had the pleasure of reading about. My heart just ached for her and all that she sacrificed and went through.

I have this book on my shelf, and I really need to read it soon. I think your review has convinced me to bump this book up on my to-read list!

Persuasion is my favorite Austen novel.
