Jane Austen

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels—Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion—which observe and critique the British gentry of the late eighteenth century. Her mastery of wit, irony, and social commentary made her a beloved and acclaimed author in her lifetime, a distinction she still enjoys today around the world.

Reviews for Persuasion

[Debra Raker · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I absolutely loved the book! What I didn’t like was the change in readers and the statement at the beginning of each chapter. It broke up the flow of the book.
