Plot

Anne fell deeply in love with handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth at the age of nineteen. However, with neither fortune nor rank to recommend him, Anne's family persuaded the naïve young woman to break off her infatuation. Eight years later Anne has lived to regret her decision and realises she has never stopped loving Frederick, a regret compounded by the fact that he is now a man of rank and fortune. Will Anne's first love ever forgive her desertion?...Mmmmm. A classy adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel.
