Persuasion is Jane Austen's last completed novel, a quiet study of love, regret, and second chances. It follows Anne Elliot, who was persuaded years earlier to refuse Captain Frederick Wentworth, and their uneasy reunion in changing social circles. Austen's irony and emotional restraint make it rewarding to listen to.
