Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are two completely different sisters. Upon the death of their father, the estate is passed on to their brother, John, who, encouraged by his wife, disregards their father's wishes to take care of the sisters and their stepmother. They retreat to a cottage in Devonshire, but not before Elinor and Edward Ferrars develop a mutual attraction. In Devonshire, Marianne falls desperately in love with John Willoughby, a charming yet unscrupulous man. Each sister discovers that their suitors are engaged to other women, and the story revolves around the different ways they handle this misfortune. However, everything ends well, as Edward is freed from his engagement and able to marry Elinor, while Marianne is won over by an old admirer. Abridged for Puffin Classics. Also abridged: Pride and Prejudice.
