When Anne Elliot falls in love with a handsome and charming young man, she must make a wrenching decision. The man she loves is perfect in every way...except one: he lacks the wealth and social status that would make him a suitable match for Anne. At least, that is what friends and family persuade Anne to believe. So Anne breaks off the match and sends Wentworth away. But she can't help wondering: Did I do the right thing?
It is a question that will haunt her for years until, unexpectedly, Wentworth returns. His circumstances have improved greatly.
But is it too late for Anne?
Jane Austen's life if fate were kind.
| Customer Rating: | Persuasion is Jane Austen's last completed work before her death. It differs from her other more well known works such as Pride & Prejudice, and Emma. It focuses on a relationship who have a second chance to re-ignite true love but whether or not they will depends on so many things that make a good story and are still applicable today.
A crazy family, social expectations, unforgiveness, competing love interests, and a little bit of that classic Austen wit that bites in just the right places.
It's shorter than Austen's other works as well, and the plot less complicated and detailed than Pride & Prejudice and Mansfield Park.
If for no other reason than the famous "you pierce my soul" letter, this should be a must on everyone's read list. |
5 billion stars
| Customer Rating: | | I have no right to review Jane Austen. I give this book 5 billion stars. |
A not-as-famous Jane Austen
| Customer Rating: | | Persuasion is a small novel, but it is Jane Austen at her best. Her commentary on the English gentry and the restrictions of "society" are well presented in this story of Anne who was once persuaded not to marry a man with no prospects and no station in life, at least compared to hers as the daughter of a baronet. Jane Austen proves there can be passion without being graphic. A great lvoe story! |
Persuasion
| Customer Rating:  | | The story is good but I don't like the edittion, is to small and for me is hard to read. |

| Customer Rating: | | Anyone who enjoys reading Jane Austen, will be very please with this book. After reading it, you will find yourself still thinking about it and enjoying it's memories. |
