Persuasion Anne Elliot, daughter of the snobbish Sir Walter Elliot, is a woman of quiet charm and deep feelings. At nineteen she fell in love with a fearless naval officer, Captain Wentworth. But as he had no fortune, Anne was persuaded to give him up. Eight years later, Wentworth returns, rich and unwed. What happens as the two are thrown together in the social world of Bath and as an eager new suitor appears for Anne is touchingly and wittily told in a masterpiece that is also one of the most entrancing novels in the English language.
Plots: Austen Jane
