Eight years earlier, she was persuaded by others to break off her engagement to poor, handsome naval captain Frederick Wentworth. What happens when they meet again is movingly told in Austen's last completed novel. Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, and a mature, tender love story tinged with heartache.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdited with an Introduction by Gillian Beer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tales on Market Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43491371155662,"sku":"9780141439686","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7727\/4318\/files\/9780141439686.jpg?v=1776347438","url":"https:\/\/top-hatandtales.co.uk\/products\/9780141439686","provider":"Top Hat \u0026 Tales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
