About this ebook
At twenty-seven, Anne Elliot is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortunenor rank. What happens when they encounter each other again is movingly told in Jane Austen's last completed novel. Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, but, above all,it is a love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked this one a lot. I liked that it wasn't about an ingenue; I liked the hints of the world beyond the social circles; I liked the maturity of the relationships; I liked the way Austen slipped in a bit of intrigue.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it. Typical Jane Austen. Can't get enough.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favorite of Austen's books. (I re-read often and really don't know when I first read it.)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My favorite Austen
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nice to revisit.
