Persuasion

Jane Austen · 1818

Overview

Eight years after Anne Elliot was persuaded to end her engagement to naval officer Frederick Wentworth, the two meet again in Bath. Anne, overlooked and unmarried, navigates family debts, social expectations, and lingering regret. Wentworth, now wealthy and respected, appears indifferent, yet old feelings quietly resurface. Austen’s last completed novel explores second chances, quiet resilience, and the cost of listening to others instead of oneself.
