  • The Friendly Persuasion est un roman américain de Jessamyn West publié en 1945, adapté au cinéma par William Wyler dans Friendly Persuasion en 1956. Le livre se compose de quatorze histoires centrées sur une famille d'agriculteurs quakers du XIXe siècle, les Birdwell, vivant aux États-Unis dans le sud de l'Indiana près de la ville de Vernon, « le long des rives du Muscatatuck, où autrefois les bois s'étiraient, rangées sombres sur la ligne ». Le livre est fondé dans une large mesure sur les souvenirs de la mère de la romancière, Grace Milhous West ; les personnages rappellent ainsi des ancêtres de Jessamyn West. (fr)
