"Persuasion" by Jane Austen is a story set in the 1800s about Anne Elliot, whose family cares more about how important they appear than dealing with their money problems. It's a story of old loves, missed chances, and what society expects from people, especially Anne, who once broke off her engagement with Captain Frederick Wentworth because he wasn't rich or high-ranking enough for her family, now Anne finds herself facing him again, forcing her to think about her past choices and how she's grown since then, all while dealing with her family's issues and trying to find her place in the world.

Summary
About the AuthorJane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment upon the English landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works are implicit critiques of the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of social commentary, realism, wit, and irony have earned her acclaim amongst critics and scholars.
