Jane Austen's last completed novel, written as her health was failing and published only after her death, is the quietest and most autumnal of her works — and the one her devoted readers return to most. Eight years ago Anne Elliot was persuaded to refuse a naval officer with no fortune; now he comes back a wealthy captain, and she must watch him court another while her spendthrift family's fortunes collapse around her. A love story of second chances and constancy rewarded, this edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 46 full-page color plates.
