Taking her theme from the “persuasion” involved in the college application process at a high school in this upscale Jewish New York neighbourhood, Cohen updates the love story in Austen’s Persuasion with this witty tale of the delayed romance of Anne, the school guidance counsellor, whose lost first love returns after fifteen years—still charming and now wealthy and successful, but alas, engaged to another.
