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.

    Thankfully the last 1/3 of the book was better than the first two sections. If I was ‘t determined to finish, I would have given up less than 1/2 through..
  • Officially My Favorite Classical Novel!!

    This was pleasantly unexpected! Hands down my favorite classic novel so far! Jane Austen does an excellent job in building and growing Anne’s character throughout the story. It’s so well written and so many themes such as prestige, family backgrounds, appearances, bias, and so much more that’s discussed in the book through conversations between the characters. Long story short…it’s a MUST read!

    Jane Austin never disappoints. She has a wonderful skill of gently leading her readers into her world and inviting them to sit down for tea and visit as intimate friends. She makes her readers feel a part of the story.

    Appreciating Austen now in a way I didn’t understand her in high school I’m so glad to be getting the opportunity to read her works now.

    2 stars is being generous. This story slogs along in a boring age when people are purely narcissistic. Very dissapointing.
