Persuasion (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions)

By JANE AUSTEN

Jane Austen’s final novel once again takes a clear-eyed, witty look at love, social pretensions, and emotional confusion. Eight years ago, Anne Elliot was happily engaged to Frederick Wentworth—until her friend, Lady Russell, persuaded her that Frederick was “unworthy.” Now, Frederick has returned, a wealthy captain in the navy, while Anne’s family verges on bankruptcy. Anne still loves Frederick—but will her past mistakes keep them apart?

JANE AUSTEN

Born in 1775, Jane Austen published four of her six novels anonymously. Her work was not widely read until the late nineteenth century, and her fame grew from then on. Known for her wit and sharp insight into social conventions, her novels about love, relationships, and society are more popular year after year. She has earned a place in history as one of the most cherished writers of English literature.
