Oxford Bookworms 4 : Persuasion

كتاب Oxford Bookworms 4 : Persuasion
المؤلف: Jane Austen

At nineteen Anne Elliot refuses an offer of marriage from Frederick Wentworth , persuaded to do so by Lady Russell , a friend of her dead mother . Wentworth is a sailor , with no money and an uncertain future , says Lady Russell - just a nobody , certainly not worthy of a baronet's daughter . Eight years later Wentworth returns , a rich and successful captain , looking for a wife . Anne is still unmarried , but Captain Wentworth clearly prefers the company of the two Musgrove girls ... Jane Austen's tale of love and marriage is told with humour and a sharp understanding of human behaviour . ( Word count 19,370 )
