Marianne Dashwood can’t understand her sister. How could the
attractive, witty, and charming Elinor fall for the quiet,
self-effacing, and rather dull Edward Ferrars? And, if the two are
in love, why don’t they shout it to the world? Meanwhile, Elinor
worries that Marianne’s heart-first approach to life will hurt
her, especially when it comes to the dashing John Willoughby. The
two sisters spar good-naturedly over the merits of full-blown
emotionalism versus reticence and self-discipline in matters of the
heart. Fond as they are of each other, each is certain that hers is
the only true path to love. Meanwhile, both Edward and Willoughby
harbor secrets that will force these women to doubt their
philosophies, their judgment, and their chances for happiness. With
Sense and Sensibility, her first published novel, Austen served
notice that a new and important author had arrived—one whose
style, wit, and piercing sense of satire supported a compelling
story peopled with finely drawn characters and punctuated with
remarkable insights into the human condition.
