The last novel completed by Jane Austen before her death, Persuasion is often thought to reflect on the author’s own lost love and is also considered her most thoughtful, philosophical work.

Sir Walter Elliot has raised his three daughters with his own sense of haughty pride. Elizabeth, at twenty-eight, has found no one good enough to marry, while Mary has, with some condescension, married the son of the local squire.

When she was young and beautiful Anne Elliot fell in love with a dashing, but poor naval officer. Her family considered him beneath her and persuaded her to break off the match. Eight years later, when the novel begins, Anne is well past the bloom of her youth. Captain Frederick Wentworth, now a celebrated captain, returns to the area to court her young neighbor. Anne begins to slowly bloom a second time, though she hardly dares hope that he will return to her. Anne must confront her remorse and her unrequited love for him as he courts another woman.

This is a story of second chances, humility, and the perseverance of love
