Meer over het boek

Focusing on themes of regret and second chances, the narrative centers on 27-year-old Anne Eliot, who grapples with her past decision to reject a poor naval officer. After eight years, she encounters him again, now a wealthy captain, igniting feelings of jealousy and longing as he pursues another woman. This last novel by Jane Austen, published posthumously in 1818, offers a deeper exploration of love and the consequences of choices made in youth.
