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.
