About this ebook
Eight years ago Anne Elliot was persuaded to refuse a naval officer with no fortune. He returns a captain with prize money, and she must watch him court someone else while her family's debts close in. Austen wrote it as her health failed and did not live to see it published; it is the quietest of her novels and the one her admirers reread. One hundred plates from Constable to Romney trace the landscapes and quiet interiors of the world Austen knew, giving her most restrained novel the visual measure it deserves.
