Review
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Persuasion screenplayBy A. FlowersThe story of Anne Elliott and Captain Wentworth is beautifully romantic. Jane Austens final work is both bittersweet and breathtaking. This screenplay captures the storys mood perfectly. Its delicate and recreates the era so well. Its a wonder addition to an Austen fans collection.
