Many Heyer readers will know and love Jane Austen’s novels and Persuasion is a favourite reread. Anne Elliot reminds me of several Heyeroines and there are elements of Austen’s novel in several Heyer stories. Anne’s journey to love and freedom from her awful family is compelling and the romance is perfection.
