In its marvelously perceptive portrayal of two young lovestruck women, Sense and Sensibility proves that Jane Austen's novels, along with their perfection of form and tone, are full of strong feeling. Now in development as a major motion picture starring Daisy Edgar-Jones.

With a new introduction by Sandra Cisneros.

Its two heroines--so utterly unlike each other--both undergo the most violent passions when they are separated from the men they love. What differentiates them, and gives this extraordinary book its complexity and brilliance, is the way each expresses her suffering: Marianne-young, impetuous, ardent-falls into paroxysms of grief when she is rejected by the dashing John Willoughby; while her sister, Elinor--wiser, more sensible, more self-controlled--masks her despair when it appears that Edward Ferrars is to marry the mean-spirited and cunning Lucy Steele. All, of course, ends happily--but not until Elinor's sense and Marianne's sensibility have equally worked to reveal the profound emotional life that runs beneath the surface of Austen's immaculate and irresistible art.
