Persuasion: Large Print

Don't let anyone tell you how to live or who to love. Of all of Jane Austen's great and delightful novels, Persuasion is widely regarded as the most moving. It is the story of a second chance.<br/><br/>Anne Elliot, daughter of the snobbish Sir Walter Elliot, is a woman of quiet charm and deep feeling. At nineteen, she fell in love with and became engaged to a stubborn and fearless naval officer, Captain Wentworth. But the young man had no fortune and Anne was persuaded to give him up.<br/><br/>Now, eight years later, Wentworth is back in the neighborhood, rich and still single. Anne's undying love is smothered by her pride, and he seems to have become cold and ruthless. What happens as the two are thrown together in Bath's good society - and as a new and eager suitor appears for Anne - is told in a touching and witty way in a masterpiece that is also one of the most fascinating novels in the English language.<br/><br/>A Large Print edition for an easier reading.
