Summary

A fresh, funny and accessible retelling of Jane Austen's classic story.

When she was just 19, Anne Elliot followed the wishes of her father and turned down the proposal of the man she loved - a naval officer called Frederick Wentworth.

Years later, Captain Wentworth returns from his time at sea, and Anne dares to hope that their paths might cross once more.

But the course of true love is bumpy at best - will Anne and Frederick ever be reunited?

Narinder Dhami is the author of The Sleepover Club and The Beautiful Game series. Jane Austen is her favourite author of all time and she can't wait to introduce a new audience to Austen's final novel.

Disappointed

So disappointed in the narration and content, This is my favourite book, the love story between Anne Elliot and Capt Wentworth, have read the book numerous times, so to listen to the story on audio book should be another way to indulge my pleasure in the book. Unfortunately I couldn’t come to terms with the narration, I felt a lack of emotion, and not enough distinction between characters.
