Witty, romantic and insightful, this novel retells the love affair at the heart of Jane Austen's Persuasion from the perspective of the suitor--Captain Wentworth. Written in the language of the era, Captain Wentworth's Persuasion re-creates the original style, themes and sardonic humor of Jane Austen's novel while turning the entire tale on its head in a most engaging fashion. Listeners hear Captain Wentworth's side of this tangled story while gazing into his thoughts and emotions.
Wentworth initially suffers rejection and frustration because the titled Elliots do not consider him good enough for their daughter Anne. Despite her feelings for Wentworth, Anne allows others to persuade her to break off their engagement. Eight years later, when Wentworth returns from fighting against Napoleon's army, the difficult years of war have reversed fortunes. Now it is he who is rich, having won many prizes in battle, while the Elliots are deeply in debt and in danger of losing their good name.
Will Wentworth seek revenge by choosing another woman over his former love? Can he walk away from Anne, or will the memory of her lips and her touch capture his love once again?

Surprisingly well done and faithful to the spirit of Persuasion.

To be fair, not many people have been able to portray Anne as she was in Persuasion. They don't show her as the gentle, kind, steadfast, and logical character she is but rather a timid overlooked spinster or as overbearing and brash. Jeffers got a lot right, I have to say, but Anne Eliot, she most definitely did not. She seems to have wanted to redeem Anne and in her attempt to do so made her into a crass, brazen version of Lydia Bennet (From Pride and Prejudice). Admittedly, a lot of other authors who have attempted a squeal or rewriting of Persuasion have seen Anne in need of being redeemed which is their mistake. I suppose if you didn't like Anne in Persuasion and though she needed a backbone and less sensibility, this novel might be your cup of tea so listen at your discretion.
Not Anne Eliot at all

I really enjoyed getting to hear the story from Wentworths side and also getting a background to the courtship. But I would have ended it after the wedding. I did not like the turn it took and did not like how they portrayed Anne.
I would have instead dedicated more time to the courtship. The actual 5 months and not only 5 weeks.
If I re listen to it I will stop after the end of the story we know.
Enjoyed most of it

Would you listen to Captain Wentworth's Persuasion again? Why?
Absolutely! This is my favorite Jane Austin book because it's all about second chances. The details from Captain Wentworth's POV is awesome.What other book might you compare Captain Wentworth's Persuasion to and why?
This was my first experience with a book from a popular character other than the heroine's or hero's POV. I will try more of this type.What about Graham Vick’s performance did you like?
I loved him. Especially during intimate talk between Ann & Frederick.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both! Tears when his poor little heart was broken and laughter at his silent derision of Poor Dick Musgrove and both Mr. Elliott's.Persuasion...Now You Know The Rest of the Story
