Since this is the 250th birthday of Jane Austen, we decided to read her last major work, Persuasion. It is a domestic tale of a young woman whose family and friends talk her out of marrying an attractive naval captain, only to reunite with him many years later and eventually marry him after all. Some of us thought the novel focused on trivial issues and was difficult to keep track of all the characters. Our next book is The God of the Woods by Liz Moore and we'll gather online on March 5. Ron will have the job of suggesting the next book.
