Persuasion

Published in 1817, Persuasion follows Anne Elliot, who at twenty-seven still mourns a choice made eight years earlier. At nineteen, she let others talk her out of accepting naval officer Frederick Wentworth's proposal, despite loving him deeply. Their worlds collide again when fate brings them back together, both unmarried. The question lingers: will old feelings resurface, or has bitterness extinguished what once burned between them?
