First published in 1817, Jane Austen's Persuasion is a poignant story of love, regret, and second chances. At twenty-seven, Anne Elliot is intelligent, kind, and unmarried-a consequence of having once been persuaded to break off an engagement with the man she truly loved, the naval officer Frederick Wentworth. Years later, when Wentworth returns wealthy and successful, Anne must face the pain of her past decision and the possibility of rekindled love amid the constraints of family pride and social expectation.
Marked by Austen's sharp wit and subtle irony, Persuasion is her most mature and moving novel, exploring resilience, self-knowledge, and the enduring power of love.
This version has been formatted for bionic reading, a formatting method that highlights the first few letters of each word in bold.

Though beneficial for everyone, this technique is especially popular among readers with ADHD or concentration difficulties. There is also a short but helpful study guide at the end of the book.
