Jane Austen
Anne Elliott foolishly let true love slip through her fingers when she allowed herself to be persuaded that the man she adored was an unacceptable candidate for marriage. Now, after years of carrying a torch, Anne finds herself confronted by the dashing Wentworth, newly returned from years at sea. In this, her final novel, Jane Austen savagely skewers the rigid social sensibilities of the day with brilliant satire.

Reseñas editoriales
Jane Austen is at the height of her considerable powers in Persuasion, the last novel of her short and magnificent career. To call this book a Cinderella story would belittle its keen psychological insight, its subversive charm, and its winning protagonist, Anne Elliot, who at 27 is older than Austen's other heroines, but whose intelligence and vividness make her a classic Austen creation. Flo Gibson conveys Austen's ironic wit and the incomparable social acumen of her story of a woman who must take a careful look at the first mistakes of her young adulthood before she can move past them.

I listen to this book every year, as I do Emma, Pride & Prejudice, and Sense & Sensibility. Northanger Abbey is fine, but not to my taste, and I cannot stand that prig Fanny Price so I've read it only a few times (on the other hand, the 1999 production of Mansfield Park with Embeth Davidtz, Alessandro Nivola, Hugh Bonneville, and Frances O'Connor as a less-insipid-than-usual Fanny is well worth watching). I digress.
What I love most about Persuasion is that it's a love story about more mature people of real character who have experienced loss but remained steadfast. The comeuppance of various others is especially satisfying, too (every time I read it I am again happy with the end to Mrs Cole's machinations). Anne is no flighty Emma or Marianne; she's a complex woman. Frederick is an honorable man who loves deeply.
I could go on at length, but you probably already know the story and have your own ideas about it. The question that remains is: which narrator is best?
For me, the answer here, as often happens, is Flo Gibson. I know she's not to everyone's taste, but her clear, no-nonsense voice is a favorite. She doesn't over-emote; she doesn't have a voice for every single character; she doesn't swoop and trill - she just reads the book as if she knows it well and wants to share it with you. For me, that's what a professional reader does.
Rated 5 for story, 5 for performance, 5 overall because it's one of my all-time favorites.
(Also, do look for the 1995 production of Persuasion, starring Amanda Root and Ciarán Hinds, with Susan Fleetwood, Corin Redgrave as the perfect Sir Walter Elliot of Elliot Hall, and Sophie Thompson - who brings Mary Musgrove to hilarious life. I watch it every year, too.)

As for the book itself, I enjoyed it. It is shorter then some of her earlier books, and once you've read a few things by her you can pretty much guess the end early on. That really doesn't take away from the story. This one had likeable and hateable, interesting characters and a good plot line. The father was a great comic addition to the group.
Very much enjoyed this Austen classic

As usual, Jane Austen created extrodinary memberable characters in Persuasion. I truly liked and sympathised with the heroine who at a young age was persuated (hence the title of the book) by Lady Russell to turn down Captain Wentworrth's offer of marriage. I believe we are supposed to honor and like the esteemable Lady Russell and her good breeding and sense, but I never could honor or like her. However, that does not take away from my enjoyment of the book. The story line is carefully developed and the characters are so well drawn that they come to life (the arrogant, ridiculous, conceited, cruel father and older sister of our wonderful heroine and the perceived ill treatment and ill health of her younger sister, our heroine's sporting brother-in-law, the silly and self centered Louisa, the charming Captain Wentworth, etc).
I highly recommend Persuasion to anyone who appreciates good writing, a good story, humor and passion. Even though Jane Austen grew up in very proper time and manner, and never married, she knows about love, romance and passion - and she can make you feel it without ever writing anything sexually graphic. Purchase it - you won't regret it!
SO VERY GOOD
