Journal Entry 1 by WitchMarlen on Saturday, December 22, 2007
Persuasion was Austen's final completed novel and was written between 1815 and 1816, and published incompletely revised immediately after her death with Northanger Abbey. As so often in Austen's novels, Persuasion concerns the social issues of her time and particularly the matter of class. The story begins with the letting of Sir Walter Elliot's seat, Kellynch Hall, to his annoyance as a man of self-aggrandising and showy tendencies. Persuasion is the tale of the romance between his pretty and friendly younger daughter Anne who meets the novel's hero, Captain Wentworth and in spite of social barriers and the rival Musgrove sisters - Louisa and Henrietta - pursues his affection having once turned him down as a spouse. Accidents and various engagements ensue leading to what the reader hopes will be another finale of poetic justice and requited love.

Journal Entry 4 by rhythmbiscuit at Northglenn, Colorado USA on Sunday, November 15, 2015
I finally read this book for my monthly book club. I enjoyed Persuasion, not as much as Sense and Sensibility or Pride and Prejudice, but enough. Toward the end, I felt like Austen was in a rush to tie up loose ends and marry everyone off, but that might have been a result of the book being edited after Austen's death.

I released the book at the coffee shop where we hold our book club meetings.
