Sense and Sensibility Lib/E

When Mrs. Dashwood is forced by an avaricious daughter-in-law to leave the family home in Sussex, she takes her three daughters to live in a modest cottage in Devon. For Elinor, the eldest daughter, the move means a painful separation from the man she loves, but her sister Marianne finds in Devon the romance and excitement for which she longs. The contrasting fortunes and temperaments of the two girls as they struggle to cope in their different ways are portrayed by Jane Austen with her usual irony, humor and profound sensibility.
