Jane Austen, a most beloved author, passed away far too early. With only six novels written, all of which are considered classics today, we all hoped for more in the way of tales. She once said, "There are so many characters to describe, many stories to be told."

Millions have opinions of which of the six novels is their favorite. Like most, I fell in love with all her works. Miss Austen had a central theme around her stories and characters. She would say about her characters,

"After a bit of trouble, they get all they desired."

And so, her novel Persuasion starts a beloved story. In the end, Miss Anne Elliot and Captain Frederick Wentworth are engaged, and the story ends, leaving the rest of their lives to the imagination of the reader.

Like many lovers of Miss Anne Elliot, we wonder what her life would have been like had Jane Austen continued the Persuasion tale. The novel The Lady Anne Elliot continues the tale to a conclusion.

This novel, The Lady Anne Elliot, begins with Anne accepting Captain Wentworth and ends with her passing. The story starts where, Jane Austen's novel, Persuasion ends.
