Summary
Persuasion， Jane Austen's last novel， is a moving， masterly and elegiac love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities。
It tells the story of Anne Elliot， who， persuaded to break off her engagement to the man she loved because he was not successful enough， has never forgotten him。 When he returns， he brings with him a tantalizing second chance of happiness。

Going into this read， there was already a certain poignancy that hung over the knowledge that this was Austen’s final novel。 For what it may have lacked in the scintillating sparkle of her earlier works， it more than made up for through its deep and thoughtful progression of tension and character， which made for an immensely gratifying read。 A fine mix of Austen’s signature wit: “Personal size and mental sorrow have certainly no necessary proportions。 A large bulky figure has as good a right to Going into this read， there was already a certain poignancy that hung over the knowledge that this was Austen’s final novel。 For what it may have lacked in the scintillating sparkle of her earlier works， it more than made up for through its deep and thoughtful progression of tension and character， which made for an immensely gratifying read。 A fine mix of Austen’s signature wit: “Personal size and mental sorrow have certainly no necessary proportions。 A large bulky figure has as good a right to be in deep affliction， as the most graceful set of limbs in the world。 But， fair or not fair， there are unbecoming conjunctions， which reason will patronize in vain， - which taste cannot tolerate， - which ridicule will seize。”Observation: “…autumn， that season of peculiar and inexhaustible influence on the mind of taste and tenderness”and of course， romance: “You pierce my soul。 I am half agony， half hope… I have loved none but you。”Personally， what set it further apart for me， was a hint of melancholic existentialism in the rich inner monologue of an older Austen heroine， that was both relatable and suggestive of Austen imparting her own self into this novel for her readers before they parted for good。 。。。more

This might be one of my favorite Jane Austen books！ What do I love？ The heroine with such a strong head on her shoulders， the hilariously vain father， a love interest worth swooning over。

3。5Me cuesta un poco creer que La abadía de Northanger y este son los últimos libros de la autora。 Este no me gustó tanto。 Me enganchó， sí。 Pero hubo una parte en la que no veía para donde iba la trama， que era lo que buscaban。 La parte final si estuvo emocionante。

I am a diehard Austen fan， but there’s something that really stands out in the mature tone and nuance of this book。 I think that having a slightly older heroine adds to the book and the more melancholy tone throughout a lot of the novel really sets it apart from Austen’s other work。 I’m very glad I took the time to re-read this one。

This is definitely my favorite Jane Austen novel！ I loved Anne and the reunification of an old love plot line！ Always a fan of the subtlety of a Jane Austen love story and liked that this book was a quicker read than Emma or Pride and Prejudice

I know this is a classic。 I know this。 I had a hard time getting through this。 I lasted 2 chapters before I got the audiobook and followed along hoping it would make more sense。 I think you have to be in the right mindset to read a book like this。 I don’t like how women are portrayed in period pieces。 Anne’s family were so mean to her。 I did like the letter where our love interest professed his undying love for Anne。 That was like a single page near the end of the book。 I think Jane Austen is a I know this is a classic。 I know this。 I had a hard time getting through this。 I lasted 2 chapters before I got the audiobook and followed along hoping it would make more sense。 I think you have to be in the right mindset to read a book like this。 I don’t like how women are portrayed in period pieces。 Anne’s family were so mean to her。 I did like the letter where our love interest professed his undying love for Anne。 That was like a single page near the end of the book。 I think Jane Austen is a great author。 This just wasn’t my favorite story。 。。。more

Demasiadas descripciones y demasiada cursilería… no puedo decir que esté mal logrado， pero definitivamente no es lo mío。

Persuasion brought back my suppressed emotions。Some people are together but they don't love each other。 And， some people love each other but are not together。"Love me， you idiot。 Love me or kill me now。 I can't bear it。""It's okay to find love on your terms， however unorthodox。" Persuasion brought back my suppressed emotions。Some people are together but they don't love each other。 And， some people love each other but are not together。"Love me， you idiot。 Love me or kill me now。 I can't bear it。""It's okay to find love on your terms， however unorthodox。" 。。。more

Esta traducción se me hizo más difícil de leer la verdad， pero cosas que no cambiaron: mi odio por Sir Walter y Elizabeth， la vanidad de ambos está por las nubes y no les deja ver a nadie más。Tiene bastante drama y reflexiones poderosas。

Una de las muchas preguntas que surgen al leer las novelas de Jane Austen es ¿cómo ha resistido su obra la prueba del tiempo？ ¿Por qué seguimos leyendo las novelas de Jane Austen a pesar de que fueron escritas hace más de doscientos años y reflejan una sociedad de otra época？Creo que la respuesta más importante es que la trama y los temas en los que se enfoca son universales y muestran lo que nos hace humanos。 Y como son temas universales， podemos hacer una conexión más profunda porque podemos v Una de las muchas preguntas que surgen al leer las novelas de Jane Austen es ¿cómo ha resistido su obra la prueba del tiempo？ ¿Por qué seguimos leyendo las novelas de Jane Austen a pesar de que fueron escritas hace más de doscientos años y reflejan una sociedad de otra época？Creo que la respuesta más importante es que la trama y los temas en los que se enfoca son universales y muestran lo que nos hace humanos。 Y como son temas universales， podemos hacer una conexión más profunda porque podemos ver partes de nosotros mismos dentro del libro。 Estas novelas han resistido la prueba del tiempo porque siguen siendo relevantes para la sociedad actual。 Uno de los temas más importantes de Persuasión es la idea de una segunda oportunidad en el amor o la necesidad de esperar hasta que sea el momento adecuado para estar con alguien a quien amas。 La historia es sobre el romance entre los personajes principales， Anne Elliot y el Capitán Wentworth。 La trama de la novela gira en torno a un hecho ocurrido ocho años antes de que transcurra la historia， donde Anne y el Capitán Wentworth se enamoraron pero no era el momento adecuado para que estuvieran juntos。Otro tema actual son las relaciones entre los miembros de la familia y el tipo de personajes que Austen crea dentro de esta historia。 Y un último tema importante y actual es la idea de ser persuadido con respecto a la necesidad de sucumbir a las presiones para adaptarse a las expectativas sociales。 Aparecen ejemplos de persuasión a lo largo de la novela， pero el ejemplo más importante es cuando Anne escucha el consejo de Lady Russell al rechazar la propuesta de matrimonio de Wentworth。Aunque algunas expectativas pueden haber cambiado desde la época de Jane Austen， la idea de que las personas se ven presionadas a seguir estas expectativas sigue en pie。 Lo que me gustó de está novela es que creo que de una u otra manera todos hemos estado en el mismo lugar， en tratar de ajustarnos a las expectativas sociales y lo que me gustó de Anne es que ella elige ignorar esas expectativas siguiendo su corazón y demostrándonos que no debemos dejarnos persuadir。 。。。more

Surprisingly， I find myself most attached to Mary。 She's so real 😂。I may be reading too much into it but Jane Austen's commentary on women's fate just feels so modern？ Recent？ I don't know。 I love Anne Elliot so much。 Surprisingly， I find myself most attached to Mary。 She's so real 😂。I may be reading too much into it but Jane Austen's commentary on women's fate just feels so modern？ Recent？ I don't know。 I love Anne Elliot so much。 。。。more

You pierce my soul。 I am half agony， half hope。I liked this a lot more than I thought I would。 This is my first Austen book and I was a little nervous。 There were some parts that really dragged but omg THE YEARNING WAS PALPABLE。 I did read this for the Netflix movie， but I have heard that it’s not a very good adaptation ☠️

I first read this as a teenager and it wasn't my favorite Austen， but I appreciated it much more this time around。 Might be my second favorite after Pride & Prejudice？ It's less overtly witty， but Anne's character transformation is thoughtful， and very well done。 Maybe I'll reread more Austen in the future。 I first read this as a teenager and it wasn't my favorite Austen， but I appreciated it much more this time around。 Might be my second favorite after Pride & Prejudice？ It's less overtly witty， but Anne's character transformation is thoughtful， and very well done。 Maybe I'll reread more Austen in the future。 。。。more

Jane Austen can literally do no wrong in my eyes， and obviously I’m going to love her at her most satirical， but Capt。 Wentworth seems like kind of a fuckboy。

Sorry for all those hard core fans。 Maybe Regency romance written 200 years ago is not my thing。 The romance mostly all happened before the book。 I liked several of the characters， but some were down right horrible。 Maybe that was part of Austen's portrayal of high society。 I guess I never felt any tension that Anne would go any other way and the end was a forgone conclusion。 I feel bad for the women of this age。I'm going to make it worse， I enjoyed the recent Netflix movie more than this book。 Sorry for all those hard core fans。 Maybe Regency romance written 200 years ago is not my thing。 The romance mostly all happened before the book。 I liked several of the characters， but some were down right horrible。 Maybe that was part of Austen's portrayal of high society。 I guess I never felt any tension that Anne would go any other way and the end was a forgone conclusion。 I feel bad for the women of this age。I'm going to make it worse， I enjoyed the recent Netflix movie more than this book。 It "fixes" a lot of my complaints。 Granted Anne would not behave the way she does in the movie in many aspects， but as far as my entertainment， reading the book enhanced the enjoyment of the movie。 。。。more
