“The handwriting matches each character to perfection. . .I can’t recommend this book enough to fans of Louisa May Alcott’s famous novel--you won’t see the characters in the same way after this! You may think you have enough copies of Little Women. . . Your collection, however, is not complete without Barbara Heller’s unique and lovingly curated edition.” –BookTrib
Press for Persuasion
“Wow. Just wow! …The highlight of paging through this glorious new edition was coming to the most romantic letter ever written contained in the novel—Captain Wentworth’s love letter to Anne Elliot. To see the words “you pierce my soul” replicated in calligraphy was swoon worthy. . . These curated editions take reading to another level of enjoyment. They are the perfect gift for yourself, family, and friends this holiday season.”- Austenprose.com
“The special edition from Barbara Heller made Jane Austen’s Persuasion feel new. And this is a book I’ve read numerous times – especially since it’s one of my favorite novels. . .Reading Persuasion with letters ignited my imagination, further transporting me into Anne Elliot’s (and Jane Austen’s) world – and I never wanted it to end. . .All in all, I can’t recommend this deluxe edition of Persuasion from Barbara Heller enough. It’s a treat for Austen fans everywhere.” – The Silver Petticoat Review
“[Persuasion] is curated by Barbara Heller, who does a lovely job choosing and creating or commissioning the extra documents, with plenty of personal and historical touches to make it feel authentic.” – Geekmom
