Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement.”<br/><br/>Synopsis<br/>Anne Elliot, the sole voice of reason in a pretentious and overindulgent family, is a gentle woman with profound emotions. At nineteen, her heart was captured by Captain Wentworth, a courageous yet penniless naval officer who fell laughably short of her family's definition of a suitable match. Persuaded by their disapproval, Anne broke off her engagement to Wentworth and has lived with bitter regret ever since.<br/>Now, eight years later, a wealthy and still unmarried Wentworth has arrived back in town, and Anne soon finds her feelings for him as strong as ever, but his affections are now directed towards her friend.
