“Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death”. And a glimpse into Wentworth’s inbox proves the point. The famous letter is one reason it’s my favourite Austen novel.

Just brilliant!
(Speaking as one who’s favourite JA is Persuasion AND as a retired professional sailor!)
Thanks, John. Hope I got the naval terms right – I’m from an air force family myself!
Hahaha I was dead at Bathfeed!!!
The obituary search!! Hahaha!
His draft letters are adorable.
Persuasion is my favorite, and the letter is part of that.
