Why read it?
1 author picked For Darkness Shows the Stars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Not only do I love Jane Austen, but I’ve always been a huge fan of both young adult novels and science fiction. This book combines all three interests! This retelling of Persuasion is set in a futuristic science fiction world in which class systems are alive and well and technology is being suppressed. I loved the second-chance romance between Elliot and Kai and the inventive use of the setting to create societal commentary.
From Katherine's list on inspired by Jane Austen.
