This was fun to read right after my reread of Persuasion. Captain Wentworth seemed so cold to Anne for so much of the book, and I enjoyed Grange’s speculation of what might have really been going on from his side. I think it was true to the dialogue between the two at the end of Austen’s book. My favorite of Grange’s books so far is Dear Mr. Darcy, but this was well worth the read and makes me want to check out more of her takes on Austen’s novels. ( )

Amanda Grange's fab pre-quel giving us insight to Frederick and Anne's romantic beginnings. lovely , story like diary entries so far ...
oh, delish read!
lots of insights into his actions as he discloses his thoughts on all things Anne ~ Lovely!
highly recommend for all Cptn Wentworth fans ! ( )
