One of six new delightful and collectible hardback editions from Penguin Classics, publishing to celebrate Jane Austen's 250th anniversary.

'The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I will never see a man I can truly love. I require so much!'

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the charming but unsuitable John Willoughby, she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile, Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to hide her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her.

Through their parallel experiences of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must be blended with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.
