from amazon.com:
Nearly eight years ago, Anne’s family, specifically her father, convinced her that she was too young to wed and insinuated that her fiancé Rick was solely interested in her wealth and status. Against her better judgment, Anne agreed to postpone the marriage, only to watch the love of her life walk away, never to be heard from again. Almost a decade later, still single and no longer wealthy, Anne struggles to make a name for herself designing greeting cards. Unable to move on with her life, she finds herself still emotionally bound to the man who disappeared the moment things didn’t go his way. Through a series of serendipitous events, however, Anne is reunited with her old love, just as a new beau enters the scene. Only time will tell if her heart can finally be set free to love again, or if Rick’s initial betrayal will leave her single…forever.
MY THOUGHTS:
- I love modern adaptations of Persuasion!
- I can’t wait to meet Ms. Saunders’ reincarnations for Sir Walter Elliot and Mary Musgrove, those two always make me giggle!
- I think the story o Anne and Wentworth is timeless, women everywhere know what it is to have their heart broken.
- This sounds like a heartrending romance! My favorite kind!
