Jane Austen

They appreciate Anne Elliot's realistic and relatable character, and many find the prose easier to understand than other Austen works. The novel is celebrated for its themes of second chances, duty, and family, with some readers mentioning Captain Wentworth’s letter as a highlight moment. While some found it slow initially, most agree that the book ranks highly among Austen's works for its emotional depth and masterful character development.

Alabama

Jane Austen’s last completed novel, a brilliantly insightful story of regret, second chances, and the courage to follow our hearts Anne Elliot is twenty-seven and unmarried—by all accounts a spinster in her time—seemingly doomed to spend the rest of her life waiting on her image-obsessed father and extravagant older sister; attempting to maintain their once lavish, now dwindling family estate; and occasionally babysitting the children of her married younger sister. It wasn’t always this way, though. When Anne was nineteen, she was in love with and engaged to Frederick Wentworth, a man with no money and few prospects. Anne’s well-meaning family and friends convinced her that a young heiress like herself could do better, so she broke off the engagement. But when chance brings Wentworth and Anne together again eight years later, he is now an accomplished naval captain with an impressive fortune, and Anne must face her feelings for him that remain and consider how different her life could have been if only she hadn’t been so easily persuaded by others.

Jane Austen's classic tale of Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth.
