At twenty-seven, Anne Elliot is no longer considered young enough for worthy romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. What transpires when they encounter each other again is movingly told in Jane Austen's last completed novel. A brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, Persuasion is, above all, a love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.
Persuasion by Jane Austen is one of six titles completing the Jane Austen collection, which includes Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Northanger Abbey.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Harper Muse costumam transportar o leitor para narrativas profundamente humanas, muitas vezes centradas em jornadas de autodescoberta, relações familiares e desafios pessoais. As histórias frequentemente se desenrolam em cenários marcantes, como pequenas cidades do Sul dos Estados Unidos, resorts históricos ou ambientes imersos em contextos sociais e históricos específicos, como a luta pelos direitos civis ou a Segunda Guerra Mundial. O tom varia entre o emocional e o leve, com momentos de humor e tensão, e o ritmo alterna entre o intimista e o mais dinâmico, conforme a trama exige. O catálogo revela uma predileção por tramas que exploram o passado e suas consequências no presente, além de personagens femininas complexas e situações que mesclam o realismo com toques sutis de magia ou mistério.
