The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret.  When later Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain, he finds Anne's family on the brink of financial ruin and his own sister a tenant in Kellynch Hall, the Elliot estate.  Al the tension of the novel revolves around one question:  Will Anne and Wentworth be reunited in their love?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJane Austin once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory, 2 inches square.  Readers of \u003ci\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/i\u003e will discover that neither her skill for delicate, ironic observations on social custom, love, and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus lens to English manners and morals has deserted her in her final finished work.","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46446815609073,"sku":"9781986983426","price":15.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781986983426_p0.jpg?v=1765008355","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781986983426","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
