Overview
Georgia Oakley presents Sense & Sensibility, Jane Austen’s charming first novel; a story of two sisters, one ruled by reason, the other by romance, and the trouble each invites.
After their father’s death leaves the Dashwood sisters with little security, Marianne and Elinor must navigate love and loss under the strict rules of Regency society. Marianne quickly falls for the charming John Willoughby, ignoring her sister's warnings until his sudden change of plans leaves her heartbroken. Meanwhile, Elinor quietly develops feelings for Edward Ferrars, only to discover he may already be promised to another. As both sisters face disappointment, gossip, and social pressure, they learn that neither pure emotion nor strict self-control is enough on its own. To find happiness, they must balance feeling with judgment in a world where status dictates opportunity.
This paperback is part of Simon & Schuster's Female Filmmakers Collection, a series of books thoughtfully curated by female filmmakers. Each title includes an introduction by a woman who has made an indelible impact on cinema. Celebrate over a century of female filmmaking and discover the classics—timeless and modern—that inspired the creators behind your favorite films.
