Sense and Sensibility – Jane Austen

"Know your own happiness."

Following their father's death, the Dashwood sisters are reduced to genteel poverty and forced to leave their home. Elinor, the embodiment of sense, governs her heart with cool restraint, while Marianne, the embodiment of sensibility, throws herself recklessly into romance. Both must learn from the other to navigate the treacherous waters of love and society.

Jane Austen's first published novel is a brilliant comedy of manners. With her signature wit, she explores the delicate balance between reason and emotion, offering a sharp critique of a world obsessed with status and wealth.
