Anne Elliot gave up her engagement to Captain Frederick Wentworth when she was nineteen because her family and her godmother thought him a poor match. Now she is twenty-seven, her father is in debt and moves to Bath, and Wentworth reappears with a fortune earned at sea. He flirts with the lively Musgrove sisters, and Anne must watch from the sidelines, steady and observant, until an accident at Lyme changes the room's opinion of her. Persuasion is Jane Austen's last finished novel and her most autumnal.
A fitting pick for people who like second-chance love stories and who prefer restraint to fireworks. It rewards readers who enjoy watching a character regain her confidence.
Contemplative; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Mindful Reader. Which reader are you?
