2023:
3,5 Stars
This time around I somehow found Fanny a bit too meek, and I didn't approve of all her choices considering the times, the information she had at the time and the future she otherwise would face. It's still Jane Austen and a good read of course.
4,5 Stars
A very sweet and charming story. I sympathized with Fanny a lot, she’s one of the more relatable of her Austen’s characters to me. The ending felt a little bit rushedm it all solved a little bit too fast. All in all a very good read. ...more

2nd read, August 2018:
I liked it better than I remembered. But the ending is verryyy Victorian in its lesson-teaching.

My beloved Jane disappointed me!
