Hot take: this is a great book.
In case you missed something, here’s a master list of all our Summer of Austen content: reviews, special guests, and Etsy spotlights.
Austen’s last work is a quiet masterpiece about optimism, romance, and the hope of happily ever after.
(Less a review than a rambling declaration of enthusiasm:) Pride and Prejudice is Austen’s best-known work for good reasons.
Emma is a long, well-written story of matchmaking blunders and lovable character interactions with charm, wit, and plenty of character growth.
Sense and Sensibility is a light, romantic story with plenty of comedy, a varied cast of characters, and unexpected twists. If you’re looking for your first — or next — Austen novel, I recommend this.
I know we’re supposed to love the classics… but ugh, this book was boring.
Yay, this one’s my favorite! (Prince Caspian)
Basically: thank God that’s over with.
The Narnia re-reading continues: was this book actually sexist?
