Okay, Ms.Grange knows her Austen men. This book is exceptionally well written. You "hear" Captain Wentworth's voice.
This is Jane Austen's story Persuasion told from the POV of the hero. Now I am assuming that you readers know the story of Persuasion, the story of Anne Elliot, who falls in love with Captain Wentworth. They are torn apart when she rejects him because her "friend" Lady Russell tells her that she will hold him back. When they meet years later, the feeling rekindle, but Captain Wentworth tries to deny it. Well his diary takes you through their first meeting all the way through their wedding day. You find out how he perceived certain events, and the emotions that he goes through. The most interesting parts are where he discusses thoughts that he keeps hidden from the people around him.
Ms.Grange also has other books written along this line:
Mr.Knightly's Diary,
Edward Bertram's Diary
As always, if you check any of these or the other books I have recommended please,please comment and let me know your thoughts on them!
Happy Reading!!!
