A second chance shaped by choice and time

Anne Elliot once ended her engagement to naval officer Captain Wentworth after being persuaded that his lack of fortune made him an unsuitable match. Eight years later, he returns to her circle, prosperous and unmarried, while Anne’s feelings remain unresolved. Set amid the social world of Bath, the novel brings questions of judgment, pride, and romantic attachment into the routines of family and society. An eager new suitor adds another complication to Anne’s hopes. The supplied description frames the story around a rekindled connection and the consequences of a decision made under pressure.

Chiltern Publishing was formed in 2018 with a vision to create the most beautiful classics. Jane Austen's original books (particularly Pride and Prejudice) from the 1800s were our inspiration. So, using a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques, 19th Century quality has met 21st Century technology. The specification of our books reflects the size and format of the original Jane Austen books, and this is maintained throughout all of our editions. With wonderfully detailed covers, sparkling gilt edges, creamy pages, and stitched binding they are the most beautiful classics ever published.


This book has a matching lined journal (sold separately). They make a great gift when paired together but are also just as beautiful on their own.
