About this audiobook
“The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!” – Marianne Dashwood
Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility is a classic staple of English literature. Published in 1811, this novel tells the story of the Dashwood ladies – Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret – as their family is forced to move to a new estate. Elinor and Marianne, the oldest of the trio, come of age in a tumultuous time, and the novel focuses on their romances, tribulations, and relationships with one another as they grow up.
Like Austen’s other famous novels, Sense and Sensibility has been successful since its publication, and is often adapted for stage and screen. The story of Elinor and Marianne’s first forays into love and heartbreak is relatable to readers several decades removed from Austen’s time. Readers across generations identify with the headstrong women who seek love and companionship, often in the wrong places.
