First Time in Paperback
SummaryIt is 1806, and the Napoleonic wars are ravaging Europe.
Frederick Wentworth, a brilliant young man with a
flourishing career in the navy, is spending his shore leave
in Somerset, where he meets and falls in love with Anne
Elliot. The two become engaged, but Anne's godmother
persuades Anne to change her mind, leaving Wentworth to go
back to sea a bitter and disappointed man.
Eight years pass, and peace is declared. Wentworth is no
longer a young man with his way to make in the world, but a
seasoned captain with a fortune at his disposal. He is ready
to marry anyone with a little beauty who pays a few
compliments to the navy—or so he says—until he
sees Anne. Anne's bloom has faded, yet she has the same
sensibilities and superior mind she had eight years earlier,
and before he knows it, he is falling in love with her all
over again.
Can there be a happy outcome for them this time around, or
have they lost their chance of love forever?
