I was not new to Austen's style of writing, nor her preferred heroines and stories, but Persuasion was uncommon in that I read it as more than a story. Before, Austen had always been an escape into the sentimental and romantic period of English literature, but having read this novel as part of a larger collection analyzing class differences and conflict, Persuasion took a more profound meaning.

"Nor could she help fearing ... That, like many other moralists and preachers, she had been eloquent on a point in which her own conduct would ill bear examination"

I think this is my favorite Jane Austen novel, if not my favorite love story.
