An Apple Books Classic edition.
Jane Austen’s last completed novel is a mature, gorgeously bittersweet story about love, regret, and second chances. It’s been seven years since Anne’s family induced her to break off her engagement to Wentworth, a sea captain of little means. But losing him only made her realize how precious their love had been, leaving her with a sorrow that never quite faded.
When their paths cross again, his presence cuts through the grayness of Anne’s world like sudden sunlight. But could he ever rekindle his feelings for her after such heartbreak? Nuanced in its humor and deeply yearning in its emotion, Persuasion shows Austen at her most ruminative and insightful.
Quotes
From WikiquoteOne does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has been all suffering, nothing but suffering.
A lady, without a family, was the very best preserver of furniture in the world.
It was, perhaps, one of those cases in which advice is good or bad only as the event decides.
I must learn to brook being happier than I deserve.
