About Persuasion
Living with her snobby family on the brink of bankruptcy, Anne Elliot is an unconforming woman with modern sensibilities. When Frederick Wentworth โ the dashing one she once sent away โ crashes back into her life, Anne must choose between putting the past behind her or listening to her heart when it comes to second chances.
