Persuasion

Years after she was persuaded to end their engagement, Anne Elliot comes face to face with Captain Wentworth once more, now returned with fortune and standing of his own. What follows is a quiet reckoning with regret, duty and the question of whether love given up can still be reclaimed. Set against the manners and social calculations of Regency England, this is Jane Austen's final completed novel, and one of her most searching studies of patience, resilience and the enduring pull of the heart.
