Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sisters, yet their temperaments are in stark contrast to one another. Elinor, governed by reason and restraint, embodies the quiet strength of sense, while her younger sister, Marianne, embraces life with passion and abandon, guided by sensibility. Following their father''s death, the Dashwoods must contend with the uncertain ground of love, loss and societal expectation. As Marianne suffers the anguish of a broken heart, Elinor quietly hides her feelings beneath a veil of propriety.

About Author
JANE AUSTEN (1775–1817) was born to George Austen, a clergyman, and Cassandra Leigh Austen in Steventon, southern England. Though her life was largely confined to rural England, her keen observations on love, class and marriage, coupled with her wit, irony and sharp social critique, permeated her novels—Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), Northanger Abbey (1817, posthumously), and Persuasion (1817, posthumously). Despite being published anonymously during her lifetime, Austen's works have subsequently become classics, offering readers a window into Regency England, and the complexities of the human heart and mind.
