And then there were four!

Today, Whimsical’s exclusive edition of Persuasion is out in the world!

Our edition was designed to match the other three books in our Jane Austen collection with a gorgeous design on the hardcase beneath the dust jacket, both created by artist and historical romance author Jenelle Hovde, along with interior illustrations and ornamentals.

*The bookmark was only available during the preorder and will be sent separately from the book. Please allow up to 6 weeks after the release date to receive it.

Persuasion Blurb:

At twenty-­seven, Anne Elliot is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. What happens when they encounter each other again is movingly told in Jane Austen’s last completed novel. Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, but, above all, it is a love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.

Filled with Jane Austen’s trademark wit, Persuasion is both a delightful romantic comedy and a surprisingly subversive exploration of our need to persuade, and be persuaded by, others.
