Persuasion (Clothbound Classics)

Part of Penguin's handsome hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these collectible copies are bound in high-quality cloth with foil stamping. Anne Elliot is 27 and devoid of a love-life, seemingly destined for a life without marriage. Earlier in youth, she could have married a man she loved, Captain Wentworth of the navy, but she was persuaded not to, due to Wentworth’s penniless state and unworthy social rank. When Wentworth returns from the Napoleonic Wars years later, Anne realises she could still make a different choice.
