Esta obra se considera una de las novelas más oscuras de Jane Austen, sin duda la más crítica con la sociedad de la época.

Its mellow character and autumnal tone have long made it a favorite with Austen readers. u003cpu003eSet in Somersetshire and Bath, the novel revolves around the lives and love affair of Sir Walter Elliot, his daughters Elizabeth, Anne, and Mary, and various in-laws, friends, suitors, and other characters, In Anne Elliot, the author created perhaps her sweetest, most appealing heroine. At the center of the novel is Anne's thwarted romance with Captain Frederick Wentworth, a navy man Anne met and fell in love with when she was 19. At the time, Wentworth was deemed an unsuitable match and Anne was forced to break off the relationship. u003cpu003eEight years later, however, they meet again. By this time Captain Wentworth has made his fortune in the navy and is an attractive catch. However, Anne is now uncertain about his feelings for her. But after various twists and turns of fortune, the novel ends on a happy note. u003cpu003eIn u003ciu003ePersuasionu003c/iu003e, as in such novels as u003ciu003eSense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudiceu003c/iu003e, and u003ciu003eEmmau003c/iu003e, Austen limned the plight of young women who could escape the constraints of family life only by marrying, and suggest the foolishness of women who believed they were free and not dependent on the financial and social resources of men. At the same time, u003ciu003ePersuasionu003c/iu003e offers an ironic and subtle paean to the true love that enables one woman to rise above straitened economic circumstances and the stifling social conventions that restricted women to narrowly circumscribed lives in the common sitting room. u003cpu003eSure to appeal to admirers of Jane Austen, u003ciu003ePersuasionu003c/iu003e will delight any reader with its finely drawn characters, gentle satire, and charming re-creation of the genteel world of the 19th-century English countryside.
