Persuasion Review

 

Persuasion by Jane Austen is a classic regency romance. We follow Anne Elliot the unmarried middle daughter of a baronet who has made a mess of his finances and must make some changes that directly affect what happens to Anne. We see the people that come and go in this season of her life.

 

I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars. I love this book. It is so reflective and thoughtful. The characters jump off the page and are all fascinating in their own different ways (some good and some not). Anne is my favourite Austen heroine; she is sweet, thoughtful, caring, wise, intelligent, and bookish. This book really makes one look at the people, what they do, what they say and what motivates them. Every time I read this book I notice new things and enjoy it just as much as the first time.
