Persuasion
Anne fell deeply in love with handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth at the age of nineteen. But with neither fortune nor rank to recommend him, Anne's family were against the match and persuaded her to break off the engagement. Eight years later, Anne has lived to regret her decision. She never stopped loving Frederick and when he returns from sea having made his fortune and reputation, she can only watch as every eligible young woman in the district falls at his feet. Can Frederick forgive Anne for listening to her family instead of her heart? Often described as the book that most accurately reflects Jane Austen's own experience of love, Rupert Penry-Jones and Sally Hawkins beautifully depict the moving love story between Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth. Terrific supporting cast includes; Alice Krige, Julia Davis, Amanda Hale, Tobias Menzies and Anthony Head.
