Persuasion

by Jane Austen
Abridged by Heather Goodwin

Read by Juliet Stevenson

Produced by Nicolas Soames

Anne Elliot has grieved for seven years over the loss of her first and only love, Captain Frederick Wentworth. When their paths finally cross again, Anne finds herself slighted and all traces of their former intimacy gone. As the pair continue to share the same social circle, dramatic events in Lyme Regis, and later in Bath, conspire to unravel the knots of deceit and misunderstang in this beguiling and gently comic story of love and fidelity.
