Jane Austen's moving late novel of missed opportunities and second chances centres on Anne Elliot, no longer young and with few romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she was persuaded by others to break off her engagement to poor, handsome naval captain Frederick Wentworth. What happens when they meet again is movingly told in Austen's last completed novel. Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, and a mature, tender love story tinged with heartache.

The 2007, Readers Digest published, hardback edition of Persuasion by Jane Austen  with gilt detailing to the cover. Complete with original insert, this particular book is in brilliant in condition with no major marks to the cover or pages, slight bump to the top of the spine is the most to report. 

 Knowing I am not in a minority to say Jane Austen’s works are very close to my heart. I do have a particular soft spot for Persuasion, a beautifully crafted reminder that even if things don’t work out the first time (or second, third however many times I’ve tried!) it never means that your life is over, just shaped differently.
