LoveReading Says

May 2014 Guest Editor Daisy Goodwin on Persuasion...

I love Jane Austen with a deep and enduring passion, and I think the story of Anne Elliott’s second chance is possibly my favourite.  The way that she revives as a character like a flower soaking up water is quite miraculous.  It is also has a plot of clockwork perfection.  I read this book at least once a year and I always find something new to marvel at.

 

The Lovereading view...

Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, but, above all, it is a love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities. In her introduction, Gillian Beer discusses Austen's portrayal of the double-edged nature of persuasion and the clash between old and new worlds. This edition also includes a new chronology and full textual notes.
