Persuasion: Original Englische Ausgabe

England at the beginning of the 19th century. Anne Elliot, sensitive, gentle and sophisticated, is, at 27 years of age, already considered an “old maid". 8 years ago her family persuaded her to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth. A decision that she has regretted until this day. When her family is forced to give up their ancestral home due to the extravagance of her vain father, Anne's and Wentworth's paths cross again. Wentworth has made his own way as a Captain in the navy. But their meeting is overshadowed by misunderstandings.
