I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a somewhat light read. I love the writing style of Jane Austen and her usage of language. I am sure this admiration can be attested to most 18th century novels but I believe Austen is unique in that she has such clarity with her expressions.

The story revolves around Anne Elliot and her "whiny" posh family and the society around them. It's quite a simple plot but also a very moving love story, as the usual theme in Austen's stories. I understand now, why they say this is the most mature of Austen's work (besides the fact that it was her last). It has much more mature as well as older characters than, for example, Pride & Prejudice.
