Persuasion

Penguin Classics presents Jane Austens Persuasion, adapted for audio and available as a digital download as part of the Penguin English Library series.

When he returns, he brings with him a tantalising second chance of happiness ...  Part of a series of vintage recordings taken from the Penguin Archives.
