The Art of Persuasion

Description

A satisfying and romantic read about love, friendship, and political engagement – and what Jane Austen might be able to teach a young woman looking for love in the 21st century.

Twenty-five-year-old Hazel is reading the classics, starting with 'A'. It's one way to pass the time when you've quit your job and lost your way.

But then she has a chance encounter with an irresistible older man. When Hazel is partnered with him on a political campaign, her attraction is deepened by the strength of his convictions. Adam seems to be attracted to her too - but why is he resisting? And what does Jane Austen have to teach a young woman about life, love, and literature in the 21st century?
