"Persuasion" is my favorite Jane Austen novel, and I enjoyed this deeper look at the characters. The author (re-author?) did an excellent job of expanding upon the depth of feelings on the part of the hero, Captain Wentworth. Jane Austen only wrote from the heroine POV so while we had a clear view of Anne Elliot's heartbreak in "Persuasion", we didn't see what was happening inside Frederick Wentworth.The only downside for this read was that the more explicit sex scenes just didn't completely ring true to the time period for me. I would, however, read another book of this author's based solely upon the very good writing related to character.
