Classics Book Club - Persuasion by Jane Austen Online
Persuasion was published posthumously in 1817. The story revolves around Anne Elliot, who falls in love with a young naval officer named Frederick Wentworth. However, due to the expectations of her society and the interference of her family and friends, Anne breaks off the engagement. Eight years later, the Elliot family faces financial difficulties, and Captain Wentworth reenters Anne’s life as a successful and eligible bachelor. The novel explores themes of love, social class, and the consequences of pride and persuasion.
