2015 reading challenge: january.

Reading of the month:

"Persuasion" by Jane Austen

“You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you.”

"Anne Elliot, at the age of nineteen, falls in love with Frederick Wentworth, a young man with no connections and only himself to recommend him. Persuaded by her great friend Lady Russell to break off their engagement Anne has ample opportunity to regret her decision. Some years later, her father Sir Walter Elliot finds himself financially embarrassed and is forced to let the family home, Kellynch-hall. The new tenants prove to be Admiral and Mrs Croft, brother-in-law and sister to Wentworth, who has prospered and is now a captain. Although he and Anne are thrown into each other's company he still feels bitterness at her rejection. He becomes entangled with Louisa Musgrove while Anne receives the attentions of William Elliot, her cousin. Once again it seems as though happiness is about to elude them..."

I bought this book during my work placement in England four years ago and as a lover of classic novels, I had to buy it no matter what. This book contains six classic novels and one of them is Persuasion. It's the first time I read this novel and I am excited to come along with Anne Elliots' story.  I love the 2007 screen adaption, it has given me a clear idea how the protagonists have to look like.

Happy Reading!
