A novel by the renowned English writer Jane Austen, adapted into film three times and first published posthumously. A brilliant combination of an insightful portrait of early 19th-century English gentry and an intriguing romance.

As a young girl, under the influence of persuasion and well-intended advice, she broke off her engagement to naval captain Frederick Wentworth. Wounded and full of sorrow, he set sail. For many years, they had no contact...
