About this episode

<p>Virginia Woolf called <em>Persuasion</em> "the most deeply felt of Jane Austen's novels." It may also be her most difficult novel. This season, we're taking it slowly, reading one chapter each week and lingering over Austen's extraordinary sentences together.</p><br><p>Join Vanessa Zoltan and the Rev. Dr. Stephanie Paulsell as they explore Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth's second-chance love story while asking timeless questions about grief, goodness, beauty, yearning, and what it means to find your way in a world that doesn't always see your worth.</p><br><p>If you want to be part of the conversation, you can join us for <a href="https://notsorryworks.com/programs-store/praying-with-persuasion-virtual-class-2026" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">our weekly class</a> which will follow each episode of the podcast.
