Title: Sense and Sensibility
Author: Jane Austen
Published: 1811
Language: English
Pages: 464
Rating: 4/5
Summary:
Elinor is a careful and sensible girl where her sister Marianne is hasty and thoughtless. After their father died, they find themselves turned out of their home, and must find a new life and manoeuvre their way through unsuitable men and schemes of rivalry.
Review:
This is the very first time I've read this book, and being unaware as to the story, I found this delightfully enjoyable.
The story took me a little while to get into; it took me the first third of the book to really get invested in the characters, but after that it was great. I especially found the female characters to be fascinating, though I must admit, I didn't find all the male characters to be all that interesting.
I also really enjoy the setting and reading about the time period is always wonderful. Austen paints a vivid picture and I especially like how she captures family relations in this novel.
Though I haven't read all of Austens novels, this is one of the best ones by her that I've read.
I would definitely recommend this book if you like classical romance.
