About this audiobook

Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth exemplify the country gentry in Regency England in Jane Austen's endearing tale.

Anne Elliot is a young woman of perfect breeding and unwavering integrity. Seven years after she is persuaded to reject Captain Wentworth's offer of marriage, her feelings for him are still strong. By the time she realizes this, Wentworth seems to only have eyes for the attractive, though flighty, Louisa Musgrove.

Set against the world of the country gentry in Regency England, Persuasion critically portrays the many aspects of proper society—its failings and humor—as well as presenting a tender story of determination and enduring love.

This novel is part of Brilliance Audio's extensive Classic Collection, bringing you timeless masterpieces that you and your family are sure to love.

Author

Jane Austen

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels—Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion—which observe and critique the British gentry of the late eighteenth century. Her mastery of wit, irony, and social commentary made her a beloved and acclaimed author in her lifetime, a distinction she still enjoys today around the world.

    A classic book and although not commonly selected as Jane austens best, is one of my personal favourites. The narration is very good, clear and with distinct voices. Very good.
