The tale centers around Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth and their reunion after years of separation; Anne rejected the Captain’s proposal in order to satisfy familial and social duties. Years without Wentworth have been a regret for Anne who is a person of no consequence to her family. However, circumstances will soon bring the Captain back into her life. Will bitterness part them forever, or do old feelings die hard?
*Persuasion was completed in 1817, but Jane died before it was published by her brother Henry.
