Samenvatting

Persuasion by Jane Austen was published in 1817. Eight years after being persuaded to break off her engagement to naval officer Frederick Wentworth, Anne Elliot, then twenty-seven, meets him again. His growing position in society brings him into her world when his sister rents her family’s estate. Now wealthy and considered eligible, Frederick Wentworth joins the circle around Anne, while she observes with feelings that remain steady. As social circumstances shift and relationships develop, the novel examines whether a second chance at love can overcome pride, earlier misunderstandings, and lingering regret.
