A slow-paced romp through a bygone era. Jane Austen's 'Sense and Sensibility' is a timeless classic that explores the themes of love, family, reason and emotion.
The two sister characters: Elinor Dashwood and Marianne Dashwood embody the tititular 'Sense' and 'Sensibility' respectively. Elinor is the voice of reason whilst Marianne is impulsive and emotional.
I understand that i am perhaps, not typically, the target demographic for a novel such as this. Therefore it should come as no surprise that, whilst I enjoyed the experience, it is not something I'm probably going to revisit any time soon.
