(Original, Unabridged Classic, Premium Hardbound Collector's Edition, Ideal for Gifting)
Jane Austen
"You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope."
Eight years ago, Anne Elliot was persuaded to give up Frederick Wentworth — the man she loved — because he was not considered a suitable match. Now he has returned, a successful naval captain, and Anne must navigate the acute pain of encountering someone she has never stopped loving, who she believes will never forgive her. Jane Austen wrote Persuasion in the final year of her life, and published it posthumously in 1818.
With a Goodreads rating of 4.15, readers consistently call it Austen's most romantic novel — the one where she writes about love with the least irony and the greatest tenderness. The letter Captain Wentworth writes to Anne near the end of the novel is one of the most celebrated declarations in all of English literature. Many readers who love Austen's wit in Pride and Prejudice find the emotional depth of Persuasion even more affecting.
This premium hardbound collector's edition with sprayed edges presents Austen's original, unabridged text — a perfect gift for every admirer of classic romance.
