Captain Wentworth’s emails

12th September 2017 by Mark 4 Comments
 

“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.

      Thanks, John. Hope I got the naval terms right – I’m from an air force family myself!

    His draft letters are adorable.

    Persuasion is my favorite, and the letter is part of that.
