劝导（简·奥斯汀）故事梗概
《劝导》是英国作家简·奥斯汀的最后一部长篇小说，于她去世的1817年年底出版。故事发生在1814年前后的英国。女主人公安妮·埃利奥特今年27岁。八年前，19岁的她与年轻的海军军官弗雷德里克·温特沃斯订了婚，但如同母亲一般照顾她的拉塞尔夫人劝她说：“嫁给一个既没有财产、又看不清前途的人太冒险了。”安妮被说服，解除了婚约。此后她始终忘不了他，独自把悔恨藏在心里过日子。
故事从安妮的父亲沃尔特·埃利奥特爵士说起。这位以相貌和门第为傲的父亲欠下了债务，只好把祖传的凯林奇府租给别人，自己搬去巴斯居住。租下府邸的是克罗夫特将军，而他的妻子，竟然正是温特沃斯的姐姐。安妮暂住在妹妹玛丽出嫁的上克罗斯，成了马斯格罗夫一家人倾诉的对象。就在这时，在战争中屡立战功、积累了财富的温特沃斯上校前来探望姐姐和姐夫。
时隔八年再次相见，温特沃斯对安妮冷淡而疏远，还说她“变得让人认不出来了”。他被马斯格罗夫家开朗的姐妹亨丽埃塔和路易莎围绕着，尤其称赞意志坚定的路易莎，而这番话恰好被树篱另一侧的安妮听见。尽管如此，他会把胡闹的小外甥从安妮背上拉开，也会让走累了的安妮坐上姐姐的马车。这些细小的体贴，让安妮的心再次动摇。
一度放弃的爱情，还能重新面对吗？当初被周围的人“劝导”而做出的决定，真的正确吗？这部小说既有安静而成熟的爱情，也用充满幽默的笔触描写了被身份和虚荣束缚的人们。漫画版用初中生也能读懂的语言，描绘出这份起伏不定的心情。
