A tender period romance centered on the rekindling of a long-separated love, marked by restraint, social constraint, and the bittersweet passage of time.

Anne Elliot was once in love with Frederick Wentworth, a commander in the Royal Navy who was rejected by her snobby parents eight years ago. When the family hits hard times and are forced to rent out their mansion to his brother-in-law, Frederick returns as a captain - but will he remember Anne?
