Persuasion

Anne Elliot, without romantic prospects at 27 years old, encounters handsome naval captain Frederick Wentworth seven years after she broke off their engagement based on the advice of her mentor, Lady Russell.  With its gentle satire and appealing heroine, Persuasion is a favorite of Austen fans.
