Captain Wentworth Home from the Sea by Mary Lydon Simonsen
4.0
I'm a fan of this Persuasion sequel because we get to see Frederick and Anne fall in love all over again. And their love story happens without the majority of the baggage of their prior engagement. For you see Frederick suffers from memory loss and has no recollection of his and Anne's broken engagement.
Anne on the other hand remembers everything, but winds up falling in love with this new Wentworth. While the new Wentworth is abrupt and speaks his mind freely, she also sees beneath all of that, and finds that her Frederick is still deep inside.
Simonsen does a great job with this story. This book becomes one more reason why I love her writing, imagination, and stories.
