Carl’s Reviews > Persuasion > Status Update

Solid, if a little predictable. Anne Elliot followed the advice of her too proud father and her friend and turned down marriage possibility with Naval officer, proud, kind, talented, but poor. Years have passed. Anne remains unmarried; naval officer returns with all the same qualities and rich.She regrets being persuaded as he (seemingly) has no interest in her anymore since he regards a backbone as key.
