Synopsis

"Anne Elliot, with all her claims of birth, beauty, and mind, to throw herself away at nineteen; involve herself at nineteen in an engagement with a young man, who had nothing but himself to recommend him ..."

Seven years after she allowed herself to be persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to forgo the attachment, Anne Elliot encounters Captain Wentworth again. In Bath and its environs, Jane Austen's last completed novel unravels their long estrangement.
