Persuasion, is definitely a weary book and I spent a very looooong time to finish it because it uses old-style English and the plot is superslow, BUT it is totally romantic!!! :)
Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth engaged eight years ago, but her close peers and family members persuaded her successfully to decline the engagement for he wasn't good enough to the decorous family. Anne regreted, but nothing she could do.
After eight and a half years, Frederick had become a Captain Wentworth and he was a wealthy man. While The Elliot started to bail out, Captain Wentworth came with his family and took over the house of Elliot, Kellynch Hall. Anne was still in love with Frederick but too many years had passed and proud had come to both of them.
Besides, Frederick had soon become close to TWO girls, Louisa and Henrietta Musgrove, and he showed no attention to Anne, even though they were sometimes in the same room. But after a long journey and jealousy from both, Frederick, at last, write her a letter!
The letter is long, but I think that is the climax. Here's the part that I love the most:
I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, week and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this?...
That is the most romantic part, after that, you know. They got married. and the story ends. :)
See? Wenthworth is the man..! Guys nowadays just.. "gimme a break!" :3
