About the book

Eight years ago, Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth fell head over heels in love. But Anne's snobbish family put a stop to their engagement, believing the young naval captain wasn't good enough for her. Pretty, intelligent Anne soon realises it was a terrible mistake, and spends her twenties in the shadow of her father and her selfish sisters. But she never forgets. Then Captain Wentworth -- by now a successful, wealthy man, looking for a wife -- walks back into her life. Can he forgive her? Does he still love her? And could they ever be happy, after all this time?
