Persuasion

Jane Austen

4.11 AVERAGE


WOW I absolutely adored this book. It is a masterpiece from page one to the very end.
Anne’s character was just incredible. The way Jane Austen set the scene at the beginning with her dad and sister in comparison to her was so strong.
AND THE LETTER… I knew it was coming and I was getting more and more nervous for it. My heart literally dropped and I don’t think I’ve ever read anything more romantic. Who knew you could get butterflies for someone that isn’t yourself?
I’m probably going to reread this book right away to appreciate it all over again. Love love love.

Probably my favorite JA book I’ve read so far! I love the quiet courage and strength of Anne. There’s just something about this story that feels more tender than some of the others

Charming and subtly rebellious.

Anne Elliot is a lovely protagonist, and of course Jane Austen’s writing is always a joy.
But I must confess, I did not connect with this one as much as the other novels I’ve read by her.

Something about me is I’ll always eat up a second chance romance

Questo libro è diventato il mio romanzo preferito dell’autrice.
Persuasione è la storia di un amore perduto e poi ritrovato.
Anne è stata costretta dalla famiglia a rompere il fidanzamento con Frederick Wentworth, poichè non faceva parte della nobiltà.
Dopo 8 anni lei è ancora sola e rincontra il capitano e da li si apre un bellissimo viaggio.
Consiglio vivamente la lettura di questo classico.
