Book description
HarperCollins is proud to present a range of best-loved, essential classics.
'Oh! Mama, how spiritless, how tame was Edward's manner in reading to us
last night! I felt for my sister most severely. Yet she bore it with so
much composure, she seemed scarcely to notice it. I could hardly keep my seat.'
Spirited and impulsive, Marianne Dashwood is the complete opposite to
her controlled and sensible sister, Elinor. When it comes to matters of
the heart, Marianne is passionate and romantic and soon falls for the
charming, but unreliable Mr Willoughby. Elinor, in contrast, copes
stoically with the news that her love, Edward Ferrars is promised to another.
It is through their shared experiences of love that both sisters come to
learn that the key to a successful match comes from finding the perfect
mixture of rationality and feeling.
