Bu e-kitab haqqında
Twenty-seven-year-old Anne Elliot lives with her pompous father and her snobbish older sister Elizabeth. Eight years prior, she was engaged to be married to Captain Frederick Wentworth, who was deemed an unworthy suitor by her father and sister, for his social rank.
She was persuaded to end the engagement, leaving Captain Wentworth quite disappointed.
Once the Napoleonic wars end, Frederick Wentworth returns from them with prize money and a higher rank. When Anne encounters him again, she realizes that her feelings for him run deep. But will Captain Wentworth, now an eligible bachelor and the talk of the town, choose her and be persuaded to give her a second chance? Or would he much rather prefer a fresh start?
Persuasion is as much a love story as it is a sharp satire and social commentary on the fickle nature of human behaviour.
