‘It’s a type of personal novel. Within the heroine Anne Elliot, now we have glimpses of Austen and what occurred to her; the misplaced romance and the misplaced youth’ Julian Fellowes

Eight years in the past Anne Elliot bowed to stress from her household and made the choice to not marry the person she beloved, Captain Wentworth. Now circumstances have conspired to deliver him again into her social circle and Anne finds her outdated emotions for him reignited. Nonetheless, after they meet once more Wentworth behaves as if they’re strangers and appears extra concerned about her buddy Louisa. On this, her ultimate novel, Jane Austen tells the story of a love that endures the checks of time and society with humour, perception and tenderness.
