Persuasion

Eight years ago, Anne Elliot fell in love with poor, but ambitious, naval officer Captain Frederick Wentworth, a choice with which Anne's family was dissatisfied. Lady Russell, friend and mentor to Anne, persuaded the younger woman to break off the match; now, on the verge of spinsterhood, Anne re-encounters Frederick Wentworth as he courts her spirited young neighbour, Louisa Musgrove. This beautiful, leatherbound edition of a classic is sure to make a welcome addition to any home library.
