About the original book

Jane Austen’s 1817 novel follows Anne Elliot, a young woman in a proud, financially strained family, as old attachments and questions of judgment shape her life. Its focus on rank, money, family duty, regret, and second chances reflects the social world of Regency England. The narration is witty and often ironic, with formal vocabulary about inheritance and social status. Sentences can be long and carefully balanced, so you may need to follow several linked ideas before reaching the point of a passage.
