Lonely, unloved by a stuck-up and pretentious father and older sister, and little considered by a family circle incapable of recognising her value, she leads a dull life of an almost-old maid. However, 7 or 8 years after the naval war with France ended, in September 1814, Frederick Wentworth, whom she has never forgotten, returns to England having earned prestige and fortune in the navy. The first contacts are painful. He has retained an image of her as a person too easily influenced, and she sees clearly that he is still angry with her. But seven years on, she has matured and gained enough independence from her family and social circle to choose her friends and her future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe posthumously published novel by Jane Austen presents the portrait of an independent spirit, a young, intelligent and melancholic woman, sensitive and attentive to others, who regains her self-confidence when she is given a second chance to find happiness, a very different happiness from other Austenian heroines, since she marries neither a land owner nor a clergyman, but a ship's captain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Franklin Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49726200840420,"sku":"RA-0013962_A","price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/9528\/7908\/files\/anne_from_persuasin_1a.jpg?v=1787792514","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutantiques.com.au\/products\/franklin-mint-figurine-jane-austens-anne-from-persuasion","provider":"Roundabout Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
