Persuasion

Persuasion / Jan Austen 271 pgs.

In the shortest summary ever, this is the story of Anne Elliot who had a love, lost him, then found him again.  Yea, yea, yea, lots of other stuff goes on but this is the very basic premise.  Anne was young and inexperienced when first engaged to Frederick Wentworth, but he was poor and the match didn't work out after family pressure.  Now years later, they reconnect in the way that all of these stories work, it takes awhile before they can express their feelings.

This was Austen's last complete novel and was published after her death.
