Eight years before the story proper begins, Anne Elliot is happily
betrothed to a naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, but she precipitously
breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell
that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and
long-lasting regret. When later Wentworth returns from sea a rich and
successful captain, he finds Anne's family on the brink of financial
ruin and his own sister a tenant in Kellynch Hall, the Elliot estate.
