Persuasion
Eight years after she was talked out of marrying a naval officer with no fortune, a baronet's overlooked middle daughter watches her father's debts drive the family out of their house and into rented rooms at Bath. The officer comes back rich from the war, and civil to everyone but her. Austen's last completed work, autumnal where the early ones are bright, written as the navy came home from twenty years of war.
