"Persuasion"

A story of love lost and found. Ann Elliot, daughter of Sir Walter Elliot, at the age of nineteen is persuaded to break her engagement to a handsome young seaman with no prospects. It is felt that he was no match for a Baronet’s family. With Ann’s mother having passed away, her friend and mentor Lady Russell had quite a part to play in the break up for which she is never really forgiven.

Now at twenty-seven and still unmarried, Ann re encounters her former love who is now a wealthy Captain made rich from the Napoleonic wars who is also ready to marry any suitable young woman.
