<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In its marvelously perceptive portrayal of two young women in love, <i>Sense and Sensibility </i> is the answer to those critics and readers who believe that Jane Austen's novels, despite their perfection of form and tone, lack strong feeling. <p/>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 extroardinary book its complexity and brilliance, is the <i>way </i>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As nearly flawless as any fiction could be."<br>--Eudora Welty<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>In its marvelously perceptive portrayal of two young women in love, <i>Sense and Sensibility </i> is the answer to those critics and readers who believe that Jane Austen's novels, despite their perfection of form and tone, lack strong feeling. <p/>Its two heroines--so utterly unlike each other-both undergo the most violent passions when they are separated from the men they love.
