‘You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope ... I have loved none but you.’Jane Austen’s final finished novel, Persuasion tells the story of two people – Anne Elliot and Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth – who were once betrothed and in love but parted ways under unfortunate circumstances. Eight years later, their paths cross again – but shrouded in feelings of regret and bitterness. Amidst endless distractions and hurdles, will Anne and Frederick find their way back to each other? Will they be given a second chance at love? Narrated in Austen’s typical eloquent style – witty and subtly sarcastic – Persuasion is about love that evolves and matures in the face of life’s many difficulties.
