Sense and Sensibility by Joanna Trollope
A beloved and internationally bestselling author's contemporary retelling of Jane Austen's classic novel of love, money and two very different sisters.
When their father unexpectedly dies, the three Dashwood girls, Elinor, Marianne and Margaret must face the harsh reality of a life where they no longer have the home or the financial security that they have always taken for granted. As they come to terms with life without the comforts of either their country house or an inheritance, Elinor, a sensible architecture student, and Marianne, a passionate, musical free spirit, are also confronted by a world where their choices are abruptly limited by their new and alarming circumstances.
With her trademark insight and wit, Joanna Trollope has brought Austen's characters and their story into the 21st century. In the timeless spirit of their creator, she casts a clever, gently satirical eye on Elinor and Marianne as they are forced to navigate the modern world and the search for love. The results are both heartbreaking and hilarious, but always, in the hands of consummate storyteller Trollope, hugely entertaining and achingly true to life.
Reimagining Sense and Sensibility in a fresh and contemporary light, Trollope recasts this beloved coming-of-age story as a perfect tale for our times.
