Penguin Classics presents Jane Austen's Persuasion, adapted for audio and available as a digital download as part of the Penguin English Library series. Read by the actress Geraldine McEwan.

'Her attachment and regrets had, for a long time, clouded every enjoyment of youth; and an early loss of bloom and spirits had been their lasting effect'

Persuasion, Jane Austen's last novel, is a moving, masterly and elegiac love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.

It tells the story of Anne Elliot, who, persuaded to break off her engagement to the man she loved because he was not successful enough, has never forgotten him. When he returns, he brings with him a tantalising second chance of happiness ...

Part of a series of vintage recordings taken from the Penguin Archives. Affordable, collectable, quality productions - perfect for on-the-go listening.

Would you listen to Persuasion again? Why?

I doubt it.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The story felt a bit rushed. Austen did not delve as deeply into her characters as when she is at her best. The story was a bit too predictable.

Which character – as performed by Geraldine McEwan – was your favorite?

Ann

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Persuasion is not Austen at her best
