Persuasion (Deseret Alphabet Edition) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781794775572)

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism and biting social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics; while her vivid characters and clever plots have garnered her legions of fans. "Persuasion" (1817) is Austen's last completed novel, not published until after her death. It is the story of Anne Elliot, the neglected middle of the three daughters born to a proud but profligate baronet. Anne is a spinster who gave up the love of her life seven years earlier because his prospects seemed doubtful. Suddenly, he re-enters her life and she may have a chance at happiness at last. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
