Persuasion: Superb Novel, Autumnal And Mellow In Tone, Concerns The Lives And Loves Of The Elliot Family And Their Friends And Relatives, In Particular The Thwarted Romance Between Anne Elliot (Austen's Sweetest, Most Appealing Heroine) And Captain Frederick Wentworth. Finely Drawn Characters, Gentle Satire And Wonderful Recreation Of Genteel Life In The English Countryside. Sense & Sensibility: When Two Sisters Appear To Be Deserted By The Young Men They Had Intended To Marry, The Stage Is Set For A Delicious Comedy Of Manners That Not Only Showcases Austen's Perception, Humor And Incomparable Prose, But Offers A Splendid Glimpse Of Upper And Middle-class English Society Of The Early 19th Century.
