Tonight, we shall read the next part to Persuasion, the last novel fully completed by Jane Austen,

published in 1817.

The story concerns Anne Elliott, an Englishwoman whose family moves in order to lower their

expenses by renting their home to an admiral and his wife.

We will pick up early in Chapter 13, where we left off in the last episode.

This chapter is also the start of the second volume, or half, of persuasion.

Anne Elliott is reunited with Lady Russell, her confidant and mentor.

Lady Russell remains keenly interested in Anne's prospects and happiness,

though her advice in the past led to Anne breaking off her engagement with Captain Wentworth.

Let's get cozy.

Close your eyes.

Relax your body into the softness of your bed.

Now, take a few deep breaths.
