Blurb on the back: Twenty-seven-year old Anne Elliot is Austen's most adult heroine. Eight years before the story proper begins, she is happily betrothed to a naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, but she precipitously breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret. When later Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain, he finds Anne's family on the brink of financial ruin

LOVE IT!!!! My fave so far by Jane.
This particular Jane Austen novel is definitely my least favorite of the four I've read. It took me awhile to get through this one. It just didn't capture my interest. I liked the character of Anne but beyond that I had trouble keeping track of the other characters. Also the romance came too late for me and I felt detached from the outcome.
