O knihe

After Anne Elliot marries Captain Frederick Wentworth, what happens next? Will her second chance at love survive war, scandal and bitter tragedy?

The Value of an Anne Elliot takes up the story where Persuasion left off--midway through 1815, shortly after Anne and Wentworth have married. War looms-Napoleon has escaped exile on Elba, and is massing an army on the Prussian border. Captain Frederick Wentworth must answer the call of duty, leaving Anne at Kellynch with the Crofts. His absence is a trial to Anne, but she must further deal with tragic news from the front, family scandals, and the arrival of Henry and Mary Crawford (the infamous brother sister duo from Austen's Mansfield Park) who wreak ever more havoc in their wakes. Anne's enduring qualities of sensibleness and gentle good nature are severely tested as events at Kellynch, Bath and across the English channel, force her to confront her fears and endure the thought of loss of all that is dear to her.

This story will captivate even the most exacting and dedicated Austen fans. With its cast of characters both old and new, historical and fictional, the story never fails to delight! Full of intrigue and surprising twists, readers will be enthralled from start to finished...and do keep a look-out for a cameo appearance from...well, you must discover that for yourself! A must-read for all Austen lovers, and a novel to keep on your bookshelf forever!
