Publisher's Summary

Persuasion is a tale of love and marriage, told with the irony and insight that sets Jane Austen's work apart. Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth have met and separated years before. The story of how their reunion forces a recognition of the false values and people that drove them apart gives Persuasion its enduring power.

Fave Jane Austen novel

Full of hope, the agony of unrequited love...sometime humorous family members and the appeal of Austen's writing this novel is one of the best written by Jane. It is not as long as others more well known, but that makes it a wonderful start for new Austen readers.
