Persuasion by Jane Austen, 259 pages
Persuasion is Jane Austen's last finished novel and follows the long suffering, roundabout romance between Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth.
My personal reading goal this year was to read classics I hadn't read before, and this novel was at the top of the list. Pride and Prejudice has been a great favorite of mine for many years, but Persuasion has come close in esteem. Anne's inner analysis of her family's ridiculousity provides a port of respite for the reader in the novel's rocky shoals of family, society, and love. Like all the best books, I can't wait to read it again.
