Notes:When she was a teen, Anne Elliot fell in love with the dashing Captain Wentworth. But Anne's father is a conceited, and poor baronet who thought the match beneath his daughter. Nine years later, Wentworth has made a name and a fortune for himself in the Navy. When his sister and her husband rent the baronet's home, Wentworth visits and is once again the company of Anne. Confusion and misunderstand stand in the way for a while, but the two still love each other and finally get married after a lot of wasted years.

Review - Persuasion

I wouldn't give it an 8 for my second reading (5/19), but I'll let the rating stand. All the maneuvering to make the plot complicated was rather dull, especially since I knew the principles would end up together.
