It seems like most readers of Austen only get the shallow romance level. What I appreciate about Austen is the deeper level of what society expects that holds her characters back from doing that which they need to do. An older a more mature Anne being reunited socially with a long, lost love. Lost because his prospects were not good. His prospects have changed for the better, but has the society she respected? Tortuous angst. My favorite Austen.
