Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

"Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen is a novel published in 1811. When the Dashwood sisters are forced from their family estate into reduced circumstances, two very different personalities face the trials of love and heartbreak. Elinor embodies prudent sense while Marianne follows passionate sensibility. As romantic attachments form and unravel, both sisters must navigate social expectations, financial realities, and the painful gap between appearance and truth in matters of the heart.
