Reviews About “Persuasion” by “Jane Austen”
Persuasion is one of my favorite books, and it’s not just because of all those romantic moments between Anne and Wentworth. Yes, they’re cute, but I also love how honest they are with each other (and themselves). At one point in their relationship, Anne mentions that she sometimes finds Wentworth too agreeable—too soft-spoken—and he admits that his sister once told him he was much more assertive before he knew Anne. But that doesn’t mean he’ll go back to his old ways. It just means that sometimes you need someone else to see things about you that you can’t see for yourself. That takes honesty, which is what makes Persuasion so great . . . which is why I’m giving it five stars.
