Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Jane Austen’s last completed novel is a mature, gorgeously bittersweet story about love, regret, and second chances. It’s been seven years since Anne’s family induced her to break off her engagement to Wentworth, a sea captain of little means. But losing him only made her realize how precious their love had been, leaving her with a sorrow that never quite faded.
When their paths cross again, his presence cuts through the grayness of Anne’s world like sudden sunlight. But could he ever rekindle his feelings for her after such heartbreak? Nuanced in its humor and deeply yearning in its emotion, Persuasion shows Austen at her most ruminative and insightful.
Customer Reviews
Any Jane Austen book is a must-read for any girl or woman!
Persuasion belongs to my top two favourites by Jane A. (first is Pride and Prejudice, obviously). I think every girl/woman needs a little romance nowadays with all the mobiles, tablets, internet and technology (which actually took the place of letters, notes and serenades under the balcony :-)). Reading about romantic moments and unspoken love between people of a few centuries ago, when a touch of hand or a letter was so full of hidden emotions, would make any heart flutter with joy!
