Publisher Description

Jane Austen's first published novel, Sense and Sensibility is a wonderfully entertaining tale of flirtation and folly that revolves around two starkly different sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. While Elinor is thoughtful, considerate, and calm, her younger sister is emotional and wildly romantic. Both are looking for a husband, but neither Elinor's reason nor Marianne's passion can lead them to perfect happiness—as Marianne falls for an unscrupulous rascal and Elinor becomes attached to a man who's already engaged.

Startling secrets, unexpected twists, and heartless betrayals interrupt the marriage games that follow. Filled with satiric wit and subtle characterizations, Sense and Sensibility teaches that true love requires a balance of reason and emotion.

"I must say I really loved this book. It is a tough book to get into and a little confusing, but once the plot begins to unwind, I found myself getting engrossed. I remember Pride and Prejudice being a bit stuffy and overly dramatic, and I am the kind of person who finds weak women who depend on others for their financial support and social status annoying. Austen's women dwell on who they can capture as a lover and future husband and seem to have little backbone. Of course, this is part of the time period, but these plots often seem trivial in light of other issues in the world. However, I have to say this book delighted me. The Dashwood family, mother, Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret, are left bereft of great funds by their father's death. The story focuses primarily on Elinor and Marianne who both fall in love with men who toy with their emotions. Elinor and Edward Ferrarr, her half-brother's brother, begin a relationship which is never declared openly, and Elinor and everyone else assumes they are engaged, although those words are never actually uttered. Similarly for Marianne, who at 17 is a spunky and imaginative young lady, she falls in love with Willoughby, a young man of great conceit and self assurance. Soon it is known that each of these men declare their engagement for another woman chosen for her financial assets. This news is revealed by other than the men to whom the Dashwood girls are assumed to be connected, making the pain more intense. Marianne goes into a great depression, catches pneumonia, and almost dies, but Elinor bears up well and hides her pain from others and cares for her sister. It is fascinating to read of two impoverished, spurned women instead of women who are wealthy, snooty belle of the balls. Elinor is a master of inner strength and self -control and thinks of others instead of her own great hurt, while Marianne basks in self-pity and thinks of little besides her own pain. Needless to say, as with Austen's heroines, the ending redeems both women with an unforeseen twist, and Marianne sees the error of her self-absorption to the exclusion of all else."

    " This was going to be a 1* but, I changed my mind and gave it 2 purely because the story itself is actually quite good and if written differently I am sure a 3 or 4* would have been given. I know this is a classic and it was written a very long time ago and I know that there will be people out there that strongly disagree with me, but, to be honest, I am glad I live in the 21st century!

    " Another great book by Austen. As I was listening to this on audiotape, I initially was not sure that I would end up liking it though it is the 7th or 8th time that I have read it. I found that I had far less patience listening to Marianne's rude behaviour than I had on previous reads. But, Austen effectively brought everything together at the end - Marianne was still Marianne with her joy and love of life but she had learnt to appreciate people even though they may not always meet her "expectations".

I can't get enough of Jane and her spectacular stories. They are funny and serious and thoughtful and sad and I am so glad I found her! Cheerio. "

    " This version was unabridged and annotated. The footnotes were very helpful and since this is the only version of this story I have read, it being unabridged didn't phase me.

    " Sense and Sensibility is a tale of just that, Sense and Sensibility. The Dashwood Sisters, Marianne and Elinor, couldn't be more different. Marianne is the whimsical romantic, whereas Elinor is the sensible one. After their father's death, the girls find common ground in their love, and in their heartbreak. Marianne falls in love in a short period of time with the handsome and charming John Willoughby, only to have him leave for London without so much as a goodbye. Elinor, unbeknownst even to herself, falls in love with her sister-in-law's brother, Edward Farrar. She moves away with her family, and the next time she sees him, he's been engaged for four years. The two girls move to London, and Marianne sees Willoughby at a dance with another woman. She writes him demanding an explanation, and he writes her back a cruel note denying any feelings he's had for her. Heartbroken, Marianne starts to focus her attention on a distinguished older man, Colonel Brandon. He is kind and caring and the perfect rebound for Marianne. Meanwhile, Edward's mother finds out about the secret engagement and disowns him because of it. He tries to break things off with Lucy, but she won't let him go. Marianne and Elinor visit a family friend and her newborn baby in Cleveland and Marianne falls sick, almost to death. Willoughby hears of Marianne's illness and comes to visit her. He runs into Elinor, and he tells her that the note was from his evil wife and all that was a conspiracy; he still loves Marianne. Marianne and Elinor return home, and that's when Marianne hears about Willoughby's visit and message. Despite Willoughby's change of heart, Marianne and Colonel Brandon get married. Lucy elopes with a man named Robert and Edward marries Elinor and reconciles with his mother. The two couples live at Delaford, Colonel Brandon's estate. Everybody lives happily ever after. "

    " Honestly? My favourite Jane Austen book. As one of her earlier works, the style of writing is less refined than, say, Emma. I had heard somewhere that the first draft of this work was in epistolary form, and this compartmentalised release of plot information comes through in the finished product. Elinor was truly relatable, and the parody of romanticism through Marianne's equally warm, real character was delightful. It will be interesting to see what was done with this story in the Ang Lee film adaptation. "

    " I couldn't stand Jane Austen in High School or College. In my effort to read classics I missed, I decided to re-read this. Let me preface this by saying I am a history buff. I even like to read History text books. Her novels used to be difficult to get through, but with a historical eye on the work, they give a wonderful glimpse into the class system, women's life, England, and social systems. I enjoyed the books this time around. "

    " omg it took me 6 months to read all 7 of these books....even managed to turn me off reading for a good 3 weeks. Dont get me wrong, I usually enjoy these classicly written novels however reading all of them in one straight hit was a bit much. my favourite story other than pride and prejudice of course was northanger abbey....which surprised me. I think this is mainly due to the style of writing and even the plot was a bit more modern and not quite as predictable as the others. "

About Jane Austen

Jane Austen (1775–1817) is considered by many scholars to be the first great woman novelist. Born in Steventon, England, she later moved to Bath and began to write for her own and her family’s amusement. Her novels, set in her own English countryside, depict the daily lives of provincial middle-class families with wry observation, a delicate irony, and a good-humored wit.
