Persuasione by Jane Austen

A quietly poignant novel about Anne Elliot, a reserved woman who, years earlier, was persuaded to break off an engagement with a determined naval officer; when he returns prosperous and unmarried, old attractions and resentments surface as both navigate pride, family pressures and shifting social ranks, leading to second chances, measured self-awareness, and the quiet vindication of steadfast affection.
