It's hard to make a list of love stories nowadays without including a Jane Austen novel. And certainly Persuasion 鈥� a book that some Jane-ites love even more than "Pride and Prejudice" 鈥� is a worthy addition. The story of the romance between Anne Elliot and naval officer Frederick Wentworth gives new hope to all readers who would like to believe that even a terrible mistake 鈥� in this case, Anne's youthful refusal of Frederick's marriage proposal 鈥� doesn't close the door on the hope of a happy ending.
