Anne Elliot was once persuaded to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a sea captain with neither fortune nor status. Now, they cross paths again, eight years later. Jane Austen's final novel ranks among the absolute classics of English literature. Persuasion is a brilliant satire on vanity and pride, but also a poignant tale of love and missed opportunities.
