Persuasion

Welcome to episode 4 of Adapted with Anna and Sam! In this episode, we journey across England, including to Lime and Bath, as we follow the trials and tribulations of Anne Eliot in Persuasion by Jane Austen. Listen along as we summarize the book plot point by plot point, and how it compares to the 1995 version.

You can find all the cast lists and other fun trivia on iMDB.

Purchase the book and/or movie at Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble, or your favorite indie bookstore, or borrow from your local library in person or via Overdrive.
