Persuasion (Signature Editions)
Eight years ago, Anne Elliot followed the advice of Lady Russell, her only true friend, and broke off her engagement to the dashing young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. When Anne and the newly wealthy Captain Wentworth cross paths years later, it is clear that he has neither forgotten--nor forgiven--their past. Can true love survive heartbreak? Who should we listen to in matters of the heart?
Filled with Jane Austen's trademark wit and social commentary, Persuasion is a delightful romance and a surprisingly subversive exploration of our need to persuade, and be persuaded by, others.

Persuasion is no Pride and Prejudice. Although, there are a lot of similarities. I listened to the audiobook version of this for most of the middle chapters, but I had a hard time staying interested. The last two chapters finally pulled me in, and it was all worth it when I read those words, “I am half agony, half hope.” Gutted!

Jane Austen’s ‘Persuasion’ is a perfectly wonderful romance for this time of year, the autumnal setting and sweet themes of second chance romance, friendship, and longings of the heart make for the perfect cozy read. Not as witty as some of her other books, Austen really creates a unique entry with ‘Persuasion.’ Anne Eliot is a mature, self composed, kindhearted heroine that makes this book one that I thoroughly enjoy coming back to over and over again.
