The last novel completed by Jane Austen before her death, Persuasion is often thought to reflect on the author’s own lost love.
Sir Walter Elliot has raised his three daughters with his own sense of haughty pride. Elizabeth, at twenty-eight, has found no one good enough to marry, while Mary has, with some condescension, married the son of the local squire. The youngest, Anne, was persuaded to throw off her fiancé, Frederick Wentworth, eight years ago due to his lowly station in life.
When Wentworth returns from the Napoleonic Wars as a captain of wealth and rank, Anne must confront her remorse and her unrequited love for him as he appears to court another woman.
This is a story of second chances, humility, and the perseverance of love.

Another Austen classic: Biting irony disguised as romance.

Otroligt ordrik och för mycket obetydliga händelser. Man undrar ju om den faktiskt var färdig (utgiven postumt). Usch, nä. Inte läsvärd.

Språket är fantastiskt även om jag stundtals har svårt att riktigt tillgodogöra mig den högtravande och gammaldags engelskan. Läsa är mycket bättre än lyssna på Jane Austen. Historien, som kan ses som lite tråkig och förutsägbar, är inte det viktiga i boken, mer möten mellan människor, detaljer och karaktärer.
