説明

Twenty-seven-year old Anne Elliot is Austen's most adult heroine. Eight years before the story proper begins, she is happily betrothed to a naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, but she precipitously breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret. When later Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain, he finds Anne's family on the brink of financial ruin and his own sister a tenant in Kellynch Hall, the Elliot estate. All the tension of the novel revolves around one question: Will Anne and Wentworth be reunited in their love?

Jane Austen once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory, 2 inches square. Readers of Persuasion will discover that neither her skill for delicate, ironic observations on social custom, love, and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus lens to English manners and morals has deserted her in her final finished work.

Es la primera vez que leo a esta autora y puedo decir que disfrute leyendo la novela. Aunque al inicio me costó agarrarle el hilo a la historia por la cantidad de personajes que salen al inicio.
Me encantó leer a Anne y algunos de los personajes secundarios aunque me hubiera encantado poder conocer un poco más a Frederick.
También me habría gustado que entre Anne y Frederick hubiera más diálogos que descripciones.
Al final te deja con una gran reflexión sobre lo importante que es el aprender a tomar tus propias decisiones y no dejarte persuadir por otras personas aunque sus intenciones sean buenas.

I have never any of Jane Austen's work prior to this and so I had no idea what was is store for me. I have always enjoyed English literature so i figured this would not not be hard to go through. Oh dear was I wrong. It felt as if I was actually preparing for an English literature exam. This was one of the hardest books I ever had to read. I found that I had to be reading over paragraphs several times so as to be able to understand what was being said. Despite the difficulties encountered I found it to be quite an interesting read. I am glad that I persevered as it was worth it in the end.
