About the Book: Sense and Sensibility
Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sisters with opposing temperaments Elinor is
prudent, rational and responsible; Marianne is passionate, excitable and
emotional. When Marianne is abandoned by an unscrupulous suitor, she is
disconsolate, driving herself to a serious illness. Elinor, meanwhile, is
dealing with her own betrayal but is stoic, refusing to reveal her emotions to
even those closest to her. The sisters must navigate the misery of heartbreak in
a society where status and money determine the outcomes of love and marriage.
And to find happiness, they must learn to accept that both sense and sensibility
are intertwined.
