Although there were times that I wanted her to get angry and yell at those around her, I admired the way she handled each situation that she was faced with: including when she decided to stay behind four years earlier. No matter what she faces, or the painful things she has to endure from those around her, she keeps her head up, her dignity intact, and she keeps moving forward. She possesses an integrity and strength of character that is astounding. Love is Not a Triangle: Elliot is an amazing heroine. So very unique! So very heartbreaking and beautiful. The writing is just gorgeous and flawless and the characters are those that find their way off the pages and into your heart. The Perpetual Page-Turner: While I haven’t read Persuasion, I do feel, having read other Austen novels, that Diana Peterfruend captured all of the swoon-inducing romance and extremely layered characterization (and holla for an awesome female heroine!) that a Jane Austen novel delivers. I just adored For Darkness Shows the Stars and think that many Persuasion fans will enjoy it thoroughly! I highly recommend it to booklovers who have and haven’t read Austen’s version… because the best thing is you don’t have to have read it to enjoy the marvelous world that Diana created! Nomalicious Reads: I could really go on and on about both books forever.
