Yes! – I love, love, love this book [not to mention the movie with Richard Armitage!] – and love its connections to P&P…

Thanks for the mention!

Greetings!

I recently published an Austen adaptation entitled, “A Modern Day Persuasion”, which takes Jane’s classic “Persuasion” into the 21st century.

I would love to get my book mentioned/reviewed by you on your website. How would I go about doing that? Below is a synopsis of my novel:

“Nearly eight years ago, Anne’s family, specifically her father, convinced her that she was too young to wed and insinuated that her fiancé Rick was solely interested in her wealth and status. Against her better judgment, Anne agreed to postpone the marriage, only to watch the love of her life walk away, never to be heard from again. Since then, time has not been kind, and with the family fortune now gone and Anne unable to move on with her life romantically, she struggles to make a name for herself as a greeting card designer. However, a series of serendipitous events causes Rick to re-enter her life, and at the same time a new beau seeks to claim her affections. The question that needs answering, however, remains the same: Can Anne recover from her previous rejection and love again?”

Please let me know if you’re interested. You can also visit my website:http://kaitlin-saunders.com/ for more information or weekly blog posts.

Looking forward to your reply,

Comment on Mansfield Park – Mary Crawford by DRush76

I never could understand why Mary Crawford insisted upon a relationship with Edmund Bertram. There was no financial or social advantage to such a relationship for her, considering that he was a second son and destined for the Church (poor woman). I can only surmise that she truly loved him.

It is clear she dislikes the idea of marrying a clergyman.

I share a similar disposition.
