Description
Jane Austen’s final novel is her most mature and wickedly satirical. It follows Anne Elliott, who as a teenager becomes engaged to the seemingly ideal Frederick Wentworth, but ends the engagement after her friend Lady Russell persuades her that he is too poor to be a suitable match. When they meet again eight years later, their circumstances have changed: Frederick is returning triumphantly from the Napoleonic War, while Anne’s fortunes are declining. Will past regrets prevent them from finding future happiness? This edition is illustrated by Hugh Thomson and includes an afterword by author and critic Henry Hitchings. It belongs to the Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series of gift editions of much-loved classic titles.
