This is a smart and funny retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion, and I enjoyed it very much. The modern college campus setting is perfect, and the characters are entertaining without being predictable.
Anne Corey has settled down as an English professor at a small liberal arts college in California. She hasn't published her book yet, which is a problem in academia, but she's working on it when a new college President is announced. Anne is shocked to hear that it's her old fiance, Adam. Their breakup was messy and Anne doesn't know how to handle the situation. At the same time, a new writer-in-residence, Rick, starts at the school and Anne is very attracted to him. How will Anne deal with the men in her life, including her sick father?
I highly recommend this book. It's a well-written read.
