I think her talent is no less apparent here, but the themes she tackles in it are easier to grasp. It's such a fun book. Enjoy, and good luck!

It is also the earliest written of the six novels, and despite later revisions it still bears a much greater resemblance to Austen's Juvenilia than her more mature works.

If everyone read this novel before her others (as I did), I like to think more people would think of her as a comic rather than a romance writer. Not that this story isn't perfectly romantic. Henry Tilney is one of my favorite heroes.
