Anne is convinced to call off an engagement, but years later--still unmarried--gets a second chance with Captain Wentworth in Jane Austen's mature, final work Persuasion.
Austen seems like an unusual read in the midst of westerns and crime novels, but I am helping my wife with an English field study and wanted to read along with the college class. This one takes place in Bath, one of the stops on the field study.
Austen is a smart, literate writer and her novels are considered peerless in terms of writing about British society and 19th-Century relationships. Recommended for any reader.
I listened to a good audiobook read on loan from the New Castle-Henry County Library in New Castle, Indiana.
