Elizabeth engineers a happily-ever-after... When Sir Walter Elliot dies, his two unmarried daughters are swiftly and unceremoniously evicted from Kellynch by their cousin. Taking refuge in London they settle the last of their father's affairs - while taking heed to their own. Elizabeth Elliot is determined to marry well and will make every use of this last chance she has for herself and, when Anne is not suitably concerned with her own future, for her sister too. Fate sees fit to help her, by causing a handsome figure form Anne's past to cross their paths again. A New Life in London is a sweet regency retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion.
