Sense And Sensibility

HarperCollins is proud to present its 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.
