Overview
The last novel written before Jane Austen's death in 1817, Persuasion is a story of second chances. When Anne Elliot was nineteen she rejected the marriage proposal of naval officer Frederick Wentworth. Although handsome and charming, he was poor with no family connections, something that Anne's family heartily disapproved of. Eight years later, Frederick is a rich and decorated Captain, and Anne is unmarried. Despite Frederick's hurt and anger from being turned down years before, it is clear that something still exists between them. Despite the intrusion of families (a common Austen theme) and society, it's possible that they can find the love that once existed between them.
