Book Summary: 

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen tells the story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, who face emotional and financial difficulties after the death of their father leaves them with limited means. Elinor represents “sense,” showing restraint, practicality, and emotional control, while Marianne represents “sensibility,” being passionate, expressive, and guided by strong emotions.

As both sisters experience love and heartbreak—Elinor with Edward Ferrars and Marianne with John Willoughby—they gradually learn from each other’s strengths. Through their struggles, they come to understand the importance of balance between reason and emotion. The novel explores themes of love, social class, marriage, and personal growth.

About the Author: 

Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English novelist known for her sharp wit, irony, and detailed observation of social life. Her works focus on marriage, class, and the experiences of women in Regency-era England. Her major novels include Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Mansfield Park, Persuasion, and Sense and Sensibility. Austen remains one of the most influential writers in English literature for her timeless insight into human relationships and society.

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

'Oh! Mama, how spiritless, how tame was Edward's manner in reading to us last night! I felt for my sister most severely. Yet she bore it with so much composure, she seemed scarcely to notice it. I could hardly keep my seat.'

Spirited and impulsive, Marianne Dashwood is the complete opposite to her controlled and sensible sister, Elinor. When it comes to matters of the heart, Marianne is passionate and romantic and soon falls for the charming, but unreliable Mr Willoughby. Elinor, in contrast, copes stoically with the news that her love, Edward Ferrars is promised to another.

It is through their shared experiences of love that both sisters come to learn that the key to a successful match comes from finding the perfect mixture of rationality and feeling.
