Everything changes for Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters—Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret—after the death of Mr. Dashwood. Forced to leave Norland Park, their beloved home, the four women start a new life in a modest cottage in Barton. But new beginnings bring the whims of youth, romance, heartbreak, and much more for the prudent Elinor and the idealistic Marianne.

While Elinor falls for Edward Ferras, a man whose affections appear to be reserved for another woman, Marianne's romantic fantasies prompt her to choose the handsome, yet fickle, John Willoughby over the silent love of the much-older Colonel Brandon. Is there only heartbreak in store for the Dashwood sisters, or will they be able to make choices that will irrevocably change their futures?

Jane Austen's coming-of-age tale is a book for all seasons. With a host of interesting characters from 18th-century England, Austen crafts a sharp, witty story with dramatic plot twists to comment on the quirks of life in the Georgian era.
