This is the official Persuasion thread, the last novel written by Jane Austen. Oh, the wonders that can be found on the internet. The below is an advertisement of the lotion the Sir Walter recommends Quote: "Certainly you cannot do better than to continue as you are; you cannot be better than well; or I should recommend Gowland, the constant use of Gowland, during the spring months. Mrs. Clay has been using it at my recommendation, and you see what it has done for her. You see how it has carried away her freckles."  POLLS (new members can always pm me too add their vote if they wish)) So the eght years tey had to wait...Gave them time to mature-like cheese 46% [6] Were a proof of ther undying love of each other 23% [3] Don't matter because they lived happily ever after 23% [3] Saved Anne from the heartache of having a husband at sea 7% [1] Were a waste of time, eight yeras they could have been together [0]

You could do whether or not you'd wait all that time for Captain Wentworth...or something. I'm said to say that this is the only Austen novel I've not read/watched/know the story by heart... redface I feel ashamed even posting here!

^ You must read it! I love Persuasion. The first two chapters are a little slow, but the story is so poignant. *Captain Wentworth fangirl alert*

I really did love Persuasion, I read it in one day. I don't want to give to much away, but the end.... it was so great! Originally Jane wrote a different ending, which I have also read. but it is no where as good as the ending she used. Heart-throb heart heart heart heart

Oh Persuasion was one of my all time favorite Jane novels. It was by far her most underrated work. everybody knows Pride and Prejudice but Anne and Wentworth's love is truly sigh worthy biggrin
oh and stay away he is mine wink

It's in my top ten classics books list...Changing the subject are we... but yes I have read Jane EYre, and The Eyre Affair ( a modern classic), The Professor and Agnes Grey (or is it Gray?) I do like the Brontes' work, very heart throb, but not witty like Austen. I think that is why Charlotte never liked Jane's work, she doesn't ave a sense of humour.

OMG, I LOOOOOVE The Eyre Affair! I've read the first four of them, and got the guy that I like to read the first coupld. AND THERE'S A NEEEW ONE!
