Persuasion is a novel by Jane Austen, published in 1817. The story follows Anne Elliot, a young woman who is persuaded by her family to break off her engagement with Captain Frederick Wentworth due to his lack of wealth and social status.
Eight years later, Anne and Captain Wentworth meet again, and Anne realizes that she still has feelings for him. However, Captain Wentworth is now a successful and wealthy naval officer, and Anne must navigate the complexities of society and her own emotions to determine if they can rekindle their relationship.
Persuasion explores themes of love, class, and social expectations, and is considered one of Austen's most mature and introspective works.
