The Complete Jane Austin

Masterpiece Theater has been showing "The Complete Jane Austin" including Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, and Persuasion. I have long thought that my favorite was Pride and Prejudice and I took a survey that said I was most like Elizabeth Bennett, but I have to say Anne Elliott from Persuasion has really given Elizabeth a run for her Money! I just love this adaptation of Persuasion Sally Hawkins just reaches the heart of Anne's Soul. Here is more about Persuasion:

"The one claim I shall make for my own sex is that we love longest, when all hope is gone."
— Anne Elliot in Persuasion

Unhappily unmarried at age 27, and dealing with family financial peril, hope is fading from Anne Elliot's (Sally Hawkins, Little Britain) life. Circumstances bring Captain Frederick Wentworth (Rupert Penry-Jones, Casanova), a dashing naval officer she once deeply loved, back into her life eight years after Anne was persuaded by her family to reject his marriage proposal. Having returned from sea with a new fortune, Wentworth is surrounded by swooning women while Anne broods at the periphery, longing to be in Wentworth's favor. Now Anne comes face-to-face with the deep regret of her old decision, and her abiding love for Wentworth, as she wonders if a long ago love can be rekindled.
