I have not read Jane Austen for years but was attracted to this book based on the subject: woman and man fall in love, plan marriage, then woman feels duty bound to break engagement because of family displeasure. Years later the couple meet again and..... Read the book to find out what happens next. Persuasion seems to be the last book Austen wrote before her death at age forty-two. In this book she not only explores complicated relationships but changing views on women and men's roles arising in the early 19th century.
