Persuasion
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA woman refuses a proposal on other people’s advice and spends the rest of the book, and several years, quietly regretting it. It is Austen’s last finished novel and her gentlest, written by someone who had stopped needing to prove anything. Second chances, it argues, are rarer than first impressions but not impossible.
