Eight years ago, Anne Elliot was persuaded to reject the man she loved—naval officer Frederick Wentworth—because he had no fortune. Now, older and wiser, Anne is stunned when Wentworth returns, successful and still unmarried. In a world of second chances and shifting fortunes, can love be revived after so many years? Persuasion is Jane Austen’s final completed novel—an elegant and deeply emotional story of regret, resilience, and enduring love.
