“Wow. Just wow! …The highlight of paging through this glorious new edition was coming to the most romantic letter ever written contained in the novel—Captain Wentworth’s love letter to Anne Elliot. To see the words “you pierce my soul” replicated in calligraphy was swoon worthy. . . These curated editions take reading to another level of enjoyment. They are the perfect gift for yourself, family, and friends this holiday season.”- Austenprose.com
