Persuasion Audio Edition is a fully-integrated audio and text novel of Jane Austen's last penned book. Austen is considered to be one of the most prominent and recognizable voices in literature, and her voice is as fresh today as it was two centuries ago. Persuasion was completed in 1816, and published in 1818. Scholars contest that Austen wrote Persuasion rather quickly due to her declining health. It's rawness magnifies it's beauty, and although shorter than all her other novels, it truly embodies Austen's evolution and contributions as a writer.
