27-year-old Anne Elliot is Jane Austen’s most adult heroine. She is happily engaged to the naval officer Frederick Wentworth, but soon the girl quickly breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. Anne is deeply disappointed by the breakup. When Wentworth later returns as a rich and successful captain, he sees that Anne's family is on the verge of financial ruin, and his sister is a tenant in Kellynch Hall, the Elliot Estate. The reader is faced with the following question: will Anne and Wentworth be reunited?
