Eight years ago Anne Elliot took the advice of a friend and refused the proposal of penniless Captain Wentworth; ever since she has lived quietly at home, surrounded by her fretful sisters and nonsensical father. But now Captain Wentworth is returning to England, having made a fortune at sea, and Anne must face him again. From Lyme Regis to Bath, the two former sweethearts are thrown together and Anne soon questions her actions all those years ago. But just as Anne has changed, so has Captain Wentworth, and it may be too late for a second chance. Jane Austen's last finished novel, Persuasion has long been a reader favorite. This edition is complete and unabridged.
