Persuasion

Eight years ago Anne Elliot was persuaded to refuse a penniless sailor; now her father's debts have let his sister into the house. Captain Wentworth returns rich, made by the war, agreeable to everybody and cold only to her. Austen's last finished novel is her quietest: a second chance conducted in rooms where nothing said aloud is the real conversation. You are Anne, and this time nobody persuades you of anything.
