Jane Austen’s novel Persuasion closes with Anne Elliot finding her happy ending at last with Captain Frederick Wentworth. But what of her proud older sister Elizabeth – and their equally proud widower father, Sir Walter Elliot? Pride and Persuasion imagines what happened next to the Elliots of Bath: Sir Walter, who longs to return to the family estate of Kellynch Hall – and also longs to have a son and heir – and his daughter Elizabeth, newly bruised by the double betrayal of her cousin William Elliot and her friend Mrs. Clay, and now inexplicably drawn to the man who conducts Anne’s wedding service: Frederick’s brother, the parson Edward Wentworth… A romantic, uplifting and delightful read – featuring a cast of characters both familiar and new – Pride and Persuasion shows that it’s never too late to swallow your pride, to be persuaded (by the right people) and most of all: to find love.
