Persuasion [Large Print]

Persuasion
Unabridged Large Print Edition
by Jane Austen

Persuasion is Jane Austen’s last completed novel, published six months after her death in 1817, along with Northanger Abbey.

The story follows Anne Elliot, a 27-year-old Englishwoman whose family moves and rents their home to an admiral and his wife to lower their expenses and reduce their debt. The wife’s brother, Captain Frederick Wentworth, had been engaged to Anne earlier, but Anne was persuaded by her friends and family to break the engagement because his low social status and lack of wealth made him an unsuitable match for a woman of her status.

Howards End [Large Print]

Howards End
Unabridged Large Print Edition
by E. M. Forster

Howards End (1910) is known as a “condition-of-England” novel about social conventions, codes of conduct and relationships in turn-of-the-twentieth-century England and is considered by many to be Forster’s finest work.
