Sense and Sensibility (eBook)

Sense and Sensibility is the beloved story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. When their father dies, the sisters' home is inherited by their older brother (their fathers son from an earlier marriage). Adrift in a world where theyd once been so comfortable, the sisters move, along with their mother and younger sister into a home near relatives. They meet kind and wealthy Colonel Brandon (whose property they are now renting) and Marianne becomes enthralled with the dashing Willoughby. Romances bloom and die and bloom again, and all the while the sisters stay true to their natureswise and practical Elinor and romantic and impulsive Marianne. Sense and Sensibility has been adapted several times, most notably as the 1995 Academy-Award winning film written by Emma Thompson and directed by Ang Lee.
