Sense and Sensibility

One of Jane Austen's best loved stories, Sense and Sensibility
tells the story of the Dashwood sisters, primarily the two oldest
- Elinor and Marianne. Left almost penniless and homeless on
the death of their father, they rely on the kindness of relatives
and friends to find a new home together with their mother and
younger sister. Each needs to resolve their problems by
marrying well, but fate takes them on a bumpy road along
which the passionate, but impetuous Marianne falls for the
duplicitous Willoughby, and consequently suffers, while Elinor,
ever cautious, seems to be unlucky in love. As ever, Austen
resolves her heroines' fortunes in her inimitable and witty way
