Persuasion
Jane Austen
Persuasion is the last completed novel by Jane Austen and it was published posthumously in 1818. Readers have often connected Persuasion with Northanger Abbey as the setting of both stories is in Bath, a highly fashionable health resort with which the author was well acquainted. Another interesting point to note is that the title of ‘Persuasion’ was probably not envisioned by Jane but by her brother or sister. Another theory is that her two siblings had a great role in choosing the title of the story.
“Classic Jane Austen writing, beautifully written with a great command of the English language and she sure loves those semicolons. From a time when a look from across the room was enough to make people fall hopelessly in love comes the long lost romance between Anne Elliot and Frederick Went-
worth. The whole book you hope that they will get a second chance.” Wikki
