A review by thelanabear
Persuasion by Jane Austen

Persuasion is an insight into a bygone era. Although the relationships between characters, which is the entire focus of the book, are outdated, Austen manages to convince the reader of the importance of a glance. There is excitement to be found in the chance encounters of Anne and Captain Wentworth on the street from the understanding that Austen gives us of Anne.
