Persuasion

Persuasion by Jane Austen
Jane Austen’s final completed novel, Persuasion follows the quiet yet emotionally complex journey of Anne Elliot, a woman of gentle spirit and enduring affection. At twenty-seven, Anne has long been considered past the age of marriage, her earlier engagement to Captain Frederick Wentworth ended by the cautious advice of a trusted family friend.

Years later, Wentworth re-enters her life—now a wealthy and respected naval officer—forcing Anne to confront the choices and missed chances of her past.

Set against the social landscapes of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a compelling meditation on love, regret, and the pressures of societal expectation, delivered with Austen’s signature wit and subtlety.
