Descrição
Written at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Persuasion is a tale of love, heartache and the determination of one woman as she strives to reignite a lost love. Anne Elliot is persuaded by her friends and family to reject a marriage proposal from Captain Wentworth because he lacks in fortune and rank. More than seven years later, when he returns home from the Navy, Anne realises she still has strong feelings for him, but Wentworth only appears to have eyes for a friend of Anne’s. Moving, tender, but intrinsically ‘Austen’ in style, with its satirical portrayal of the vanity of society in eighteenth-century England, Persuasion celebrates enduring love and hope.

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.
