Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

About this book

Jane Austen's first published novel, Sense and Sensibility is the story of two sisters - Elinore and Marianne. Each sister embodies a unique set of traits: Elinore is sense, discrete and of sound judgement; while Marianne is sensibility, emotional and impulsive. Though the lives and adventures of the two sisters in matters of love and relationships, Austen captures the need for both sense and sensibility in one's life, the need for a heart that feels deeply and a mind that goes forth with caution.
