About this ebook
The heroine of the book Anne broke off the engagement with Wentworth when she was 19 as she followed her family’s persuasion of not marrying a futureless man. Eight years later, Wentworth returns from the navy with fortune and status, while Anne’s family moves out of their estate because of financial trouble. The duo meets meet again at Bath, with embarrassment, resentment, and somewhat of affection, and they have to deal with these mixed feelings. Persuasion wins critics, scholars, and readers’ compliments, and is widely considered as Austen’s most sophisticated work.
