Anne Elliot is a perfect catch. Born to a landed family she’s observant and intelligent. When Anne came of age she accepted a proposal from the ambitious officer Frederick Wentworth. Unfortunately Wentworth’s modest means made him a poor choice for the Elliot family and Anne was persuaded to call off the engagement. One refused marriage and nearly a decade later Anne has not forgotten about Wentworth. Little does she know that her fortune is about to change.
When the Elliots make ill-advised investments and lose their money they are forced to rent out their ancestral home and move to Bath. There Anne once again meets Wentworth who is now a captain in what could be her second and final chance at love and marriage. Buttressed by the author’s humane characterization and sharp social commentary Persuasion is a must-read for any Jane Austen fan.
