What to expect

Persuasion is Jane Austen's final completed novel and one of her most mature and moving works. The story follows Anne Elliot, a thoughtful and quietly intelligent woman who, years earlier, was persuaded to end her engagement to Captain Frederick Wentworth because of his uncertain fortune and social position. When Wentworth returns as a successful naval officer, Anne must face the consequences of that earlier choice, the pain of lost love, and the possibility of renewal. Around her, Austen presents a world of family vanity, social pressure, class expectations, emotional restraint, and subtle moral judgment.
