Worth the 'Persuasion'. Review on Persuasion - Jane Austen

Marriages are made in heaven is Ms. Jane Austen's 'Persuasion'. Miss Anne Elliot refuses Mr. Frederick Wentworth proposal of marriage nine years ago because of her good friend's persuasion. He had left then, dejected and indignant.

Meanwhile, she could love no other. Now, he is expected back and Anne?s heart is all flutters. But on his arrival, now a well-to-do Captain Wentworth, his demeanour persuades Anne to believe that her feelings are not to be reciprocated for he seems to fancy another young lady.

Gentle as Anne's disposition is, much like other heroines' created by Ms. Austen, the story does make an interesting reading for romantic enthusiasts and Austen lovers. I think the letter that Captain Wentworth writes to Anne is very lovely, very much like the letter Mr. Darcy addresses to Elizabeth in 'Pride and Prejudice'.

The story has got all those lovely moments that Ms. Austen is apt at describing; only the twists in the plot are subtle, well distinguished from the frenzied ?Northanger Abbey? and ?Pride and Prejudice?. It evolves in various parts of England beginning at Anne's native rural Somersetshire, to the scenic Uppercross and Lyme and ending in against the befitting backgrounds of the rich Bath society. Trust me, though I have never been to England, the description Ms. Austen supplies of these places hails them as incomparable romantic havens.

So, the next time you feel like being bathed in a romantic flurry, let 'Persuasion' work Ms. Austen's charms and picturesque portrayals on you.
