Description

The social conventions of Regency England made Anne Elliot reject true happiness. Can she reclaim it when a second chance presents itself? Some years ago, Anne was persuaded by a friend that her true love - a young naval officer named Frederick Wentworth - had no prospects and would not be able to provide her with a secure life. Anne broke off their engagement, and the lovers parted unhappily. Now events have thrown them together again, but it is not at all certain that they can surmount new impediments - including rival love interests and a scheming widow - and finally find happiness together. This subtle and poignant novel is Jane Austen's last - and possibly most memorable - work.
