Persuasion

Love, Regret, and Second Chances A tale of love, regret, and second chances. The novel follows Anne Elliot, an intelligent young woman, who is persuaded by her family and friends to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a naval officer of modest means. Eight years later, Anne is still unmarried and grappling with the emotional fallout of her decision, while Wentworth has returned to her social circle as a successful and wealthy captain. First published in 1817, this edition is derived from the book published in 1913 with 20 black & white illustrations by Hugh Thomson. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
