Persuasion (Reader's Library Classics)

by Jane Austen

Overview

You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever.

Young and engaged, Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth were happily ready for their new lives together, but some ill advice from family and friends sowed doubt within Anne and she broke off the engagement. Now, at age 27 and her family on the brink of financial ruin, Anne crosses paths again with the now Naval Captain Wentworth. Is there time enough for second chances?

About the Author

Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English author known primarily for her six major novels set among the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Considered defining works of the Regency Era and counted among the best–loved classics of English literature, Austen's books include Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. The latter two were published after her death. "I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library." – Jane Austen
