Persuasion

The great novel about female self-determination

Eight years ago, Anne Elliot made the greatest mistake of her life: persuaded by her ambitious family, she broke off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth – a man with no fortune, but with a heart full of passion. Yet the memory of her lost love has never faded.
Now, when fate brings them together again, Wentworth is no longer the unknown young officer she once gave up, but a celebrated and wealthy captain. As Anne struggles with regret and hope, one question haunts her: can love have a second chance after so many years apart?
