PERSUASION

When Anne Elliot chances upon Captain Wentworth, a suitor she was persuaded to reject seven years earlier, she begins to reflect upon her past decisions and contemplate her marital future. Vividly depicting the society holiday towns of Lyme Regis and Bath and infused with its authors trademark wit, this is an entertaining and enduring account of the dilemmas facing young women. Thoroughly annotated, this edition also includes a review of Jane Austens life and works, complete with anecdotes and critical perspectives.
