Marianne Dashwood is having trouble understanding her sister Elinor. How could someone as attractive, witty, and charming as Elinor fall for someone as quiet, self-effacing, and rather dull as Edward Ferrars? Similarly, Elinor worries that Marianne's heart-first approach to life will hurt her, especially when it comes to the dashing John Willoughby. Meanwhile, both Edward and Willoughby harbor secrets that will force these women to doubt their philosophies, their judgment, and their chances for happiness.
Sense and Sensibility is a compelling story with finely drawn characters. It remains one of Jane Austen's best-loved novels and reflects Austen's own uncertainty about whether sense or sensibility should ultimately triumph.
