Persuasion
By Jane Austen
Narrated by Catherine Bilson, Sarah Jane Rose, Graham Scott, Linda Barrans, and Denis Daly.
Persuasion was the last novel completed by Jane Austen and was first published posthumously in December,1817.
The heroine Anne Eliot, is something of an old maid – she is twenty-seven years old, still single and is considered by family and friends to have lost her youthful beauty. Several years earlier she had been engaged to Captain Frederick Wentworth, but the engagement was broken due to the insistence of her family that the captain lacked the wealth and status to make a suitable husband.
Due to the improvidence of Anne’s snobbish father, Sir Walter Elliot, it becomes necessary to rent out the family estate at Kellynch Hall, and the Elliots take up residence in Bath. Anne and Frederick meet again, and Anne is faced with a difficult choice between suitors: the honest and upright, but socially awkward Frederick, and Anne’s charming, wealthy and devious cousin, William Elliot.
