In PERSUASION the young and impressionable Anne Elliot was persuaded by her family not to accept the marriage proposal of kind but poor and connectionless naval officer Frederick Wentworth. When a chance encounter reunites the two eight years later, still unmarried Anne finds her former flame has pulled himself up by his own bootstraps and has become quite the eligible bachelor. Frederick, who has become a captain and encountered great success in the Napoleonic wars, is on the hunt for a wife- but his pride is still bruised from Anne's rejection, and he vows to marry any appealing young woman except Anne Elliot.
The encounter with Frederick sends Anne's formerly dull life spinning into change. Soon she is caught up in a whirlwind of emotions and events- jealously over Frederick's potential matches, a trip to the coast that brings on a slew of new acquaintances, a tragic accident that brings the drama to a fever pitch... it seems Anne won't be getting a moment of respite. Meanwhile, her calm, sympathy and understanding under pressure are beginning to change Frederick's mind about marrying her.
Featuring the classic Austenian twists, turns, and tangles, Persuasion weaves a web of romance, intrigue, and- as always- hilarious social commentary that will engross readers of any age.
