Sometimes love needs a second chance. In Persuasion, Jane Austen offers her most emotionally nuanced novel a story of missed opportunities, enduring affection, and graceful resilience. At twenty-seven, Anne Elliot has long regretted ending her engagement to the dashing but penniless Captain Wentworth. Now, years later, he returns wealthy, successful, and seemingly indifferent. Set against the backdrop of post-Napoleonic England, Persuasion explores themes of regret, social expectation, and quiet strength with Austen's signature elegance. It is a deeply moving meditation on love that lasts beyond youth and circumstance. This beautifully designed edition features annotations and illustrations for an enriched reading experience.
