Anne Elliot seems ot have given up on love, and lives off memories of her past. Seven years earlier she was engaged to Frederick Wentworth, a captain in the navy with neither fortune nor prestige. Her friend at the time persueded her to cancel the engangement and to seek a more prosperous partner. Anne meets her former fiancé at twenty-seven and what happens next is a moving tale on love. Written beautifully in Jane Austen's iconic way, which satires vanity and pretension that was evident in the middle class around this time.
