Published posthumously in December 1817, Persuasion was Jane Austen's final completed work before her death in July 1817.  It has delighted readers ever since. It is a historical romance, which delves into themes of love, social class, and individual agency. It revolves around the life of Anne Elliot who was persuaded when she was 19 years old, to break off her engagement with Frederick Wentworth, a promising, though relatively poor young lieutenant in the Royal Navy.  
Lonely and unloved by her father and older sister, and considered of little consequence by her married sister Mary, Anne leads a dull life. However, after the naval war ends, Frederick Wentworth returns to England having earned prestige and fortune. Seven years have now passed. But has Anne gained enough independence from her family and social circle to choose her own future? And do her ties to Captain Wentworth remain unbroken? 
In this delightful audiobook, all 24 chapters are masterfully brought to life by seasoned vocal artist Stephanie Poppins. Her bright and energetic performance expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. And her attention to detail, her literary background, and her commitment to auditory excellence, make this a captivating listen.  
This is the fourth audiobook in the Neworld Classics Collection. 
Published by Neworld Books Limited.  
Soundtrack written and produced by Jean Miles Carter.

As a young woman, Naomi Simmons grabbed her one chance to escape the overwhelming demands of her selfish family by marrying devout older man Jacob Purcell.

So, Naomi is amazed and touched when Homer Clark sees her for the vibrant, intelligent woman she truly is. Believing the handsome, worldly widower is her love of a lifetime, Naomi plans to leave with Homer and start fresh in the big city … 
  
Then Jacob suffers a debilitating stroke, and Naomi can't bring herself to abandon him. Unfortunately, Homer refuses to listen—or understand. Relieved when he leaves town and disappears, Naomi dedicates herself to the now-grateful Jacob’s care. And she feels truly delighted and blessed when Ethel Mae finally gets her life on track away from home—and comes back with good news … 
  
But Ethel Mae’s surprise will shock Naomi to her core and threaten everything and everyone she holds most precious.

With her four older sisters now married, it’s Patience Shackleford’s turn to take charge of her younger siblings’ education.
