Persuasion
Author(s): Jane Austen
Persuasion is the ultimate novel of love lost and regained. By turns achingly sad and intensely romantic, it’s a Cinderella story for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked – or anyone who’s ever had their heart broken… Eight years ago, Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth fell head over heels in love. But Anne’s family put a stop to their engagement, believing he wasn’t good enough for her. Pretty, intelligent Anne soon realises she’s made a terrible mistake. Then Captain Wentworth walks back into her life again. Can he forgive her? Does he still love her? And could they ever be happy, after all this time?
