As a young woman, Anne Elliot became engaged to the handsome Frederick Wentworth, but was persuaded by her vain, aristocratic family to break off the engagement due to Wentworth’s inferior social and economic standing. Seven years later, still unmarried, Anne meets Frederick once again. Now a decorated naval officer, Captain Wentworth finds with mixed feelings for the woman who rejected him, a decision Anne Elliot soon comes to regret. Persuasion, Jane Austen’s final novel, is a classic of romance and social realism and a masterpiece of English literature.
