Persuasion

More about the book

The story centers on Anne Elliot, the neglected middle daughter of a self-absorbed baronet, Sir Walter Elliot. While her elder sister, Elizabeth, embodies their father's arrogance and relishes her social status, Anne's younger sister, Mary, is a timid woman in a modest marriage. The dynamics of their family highlight themes of social status, familial relationships, and the struggles of being overlooked in a society that values appearances.
