The dialogue and wit and sarcasm of Jane Austen is the biggest surprise I think. Plus the commentary on the reality and hopelessness of women’s positions, from a contemporary author’s perspective of that time, is heart breaking and eye opening.

The pinning in Persuasion gets me every time! A great retelling is For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund. It’s Persuasion mixed with sci-fi.
I think for Emma and Northanger Abbey you’ll either love them or hate 😂 I personally love Emma :)

All great stories by Austen. Persuasion my favourite.

Ang Lee had directed an adaptation of Sense and Sensibility that I really enjoyed (not sure how faithful it is though!)

Awesome video! How did you get fun from reading Jane Austen ? Because I can’t get into it. I have Persuasion and so far.
