书籍介绍
What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances. A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.

每每读她的小说时才觉得英文是一门美的让人朗读起来的语言。
旧情复燃总是讨好的故事。
读惯了现代作者的小说 读这个真的有些吃力啊 而且剧情已经都知道（虽然和TV版不太相同）而且人物很多，称呼也不一样，一开始读就不是特别有味道。
补标
才知这是她写下的最后一本小说。
躊躇了很久, 是四星半的書, 但還是偏向五星, 理由是雖然故事起伏平淡不及Emma更不及Pride and Prejudice(P&P在我心中永遠是第一), 但光這本書就做了62個讀書筆記, 字裡行間所透出的智慧和成熟無疑是上好的, 感情也非常真實、細膩, 的確如大眾所說的, “很美”；只是從Vol2開始情節突然趕了, 男女主感情的恢復顯得略倉促。
audible听的。原著好过译本10倍好过bbc改编版1000倍。非常喜欢Anne这个可谓是非常“不合时宜”的角色。persuade这个词在全书不同的场景不断出现，也算是Austen的一种smart humour吧。
We each begin probably with a little bias towards our own sex, and upon that bias build every circumstance in favour of it which has occurred within our own circle
意外看得进去，虽然古典的主角的光环重到我也没法说非常喜欢anne，更爱看感情戏，每次男女主看似平静的相见交锋都觉得她写尽了该有的心理状态，以及简奥斯汀才真是刻薄的作家吧，写家人的每句话都夸张好笑，真是不给一点好
The first novel written by English I've read，I was attracted by it' beautiful style of writing，piercing description on character.
只看两个人拉拉扯扯，也足以让人姨母笑了。
