How interesting! I haven't read Persuasian (I, too, have enjoyed much of Austin through cinema and I'd like to rectify this). The note on brain waves synchronizing was a WOW moment! (and perhaps minor, but the text to image feature on Canva had me very intrigued).

I feel like Persuasion really is a masterpiece combining concision and insight. She tells the story so much quicker than she does in Sense and Sensibility, but I suppose it’s justified in that novel since she’s telling two whole love stories and the back stories of both love interests and one villain at the same time! I’m glad you like the brain synchrony part—really fascinating to think about as a feature of the injury experience!

I still think of Persuasion as my favorite, but it's been almost twenty years since I've read it and I forgot all about this injury. I guess it's time for a reread.

Persuasion definitely qualifies for favorite status! I’m going to keep going in-depth as much as I can. I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts along the way!
