Sense and Sensibility

Sense and Sensibility is a classic novel by Jane Austen, published anonymously in three volumes in 1811. The story revolves around the impoverished Dashwood family, focusing on the contrasting personalities of the sisters Elinor and Marianne. Elinor represents good sense (common sense), while Marianne embodies sensibility (emotionality).

When their father passes away, leaving their home, Norland Park, to their half-brother John, the sisters find themselves destitute. John, influenced by his greedy wife Fanny, fails in his duty to care for his sisters. The family relocates to Barton Cottage in Devonshire.
