Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Jane Austen’s first published novel is a sparkling, heartfelt tale of family, friendship, and changes of the heart.
Elinor Dashwood is the voice of reason. Her sister, Marianne, is impulsive and emotionally reactive. When their family loses its fortune, they have to trade a grand estate for a quiet cottage and step into an unpredictable new world of love, gossip, and heartbreak.
One guards her heart, the other dives in feelings-first. As secrets surface and affections are tested, both discover that reason and passion together might be the perfect combination. Sharp, funny, and romantic, Sense and Sensibility captures Austen’s keen eye for love in all its messy forms.
Customer Reviews
Good stuff
Austen’s ability to create such complex characters; her use of clever innuendoes and euphemisms, and her ability to merge seemingly unrelated events and coincidences to create such a rich story is an incredible feat of storytelling
