HarperCollins is proud to present the series of beloved classic books. In the book "Persuasion," written at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, it tells a story of love and heartache as a woman tries to rekindle a lost romance.

Anne Elliot, persuaded by friends and family, rejects a marriage proposal from Captain Wentworth due to lack of wealth and rank. More than seven years later, when he returns from the Navy, Anne realizes she still has strong feelings for him, but Wentworth seems to have eyes only for a friend of Anne's.

Moving, tender, yet intrinsically 'Austen' in its writing, with its satirical depiction of the vanity of English society in the 1800s, "Persuasion" celebrates enduring love and hope.
