| Notes: | A brilliant tragicomedy of flirtation and folly. Romantic walks through lush Devonshire and genteel dinner parties at a stately manor draw two pretty sisters into the schemes and manipulations of landed gentry determined to marry wisely and well. Neither sense nor sensibility can guarantee happiness for either — as romantic Marianne falls prey to a dangerous rascal, and reasonable Elinor loses her heart to a gentleman already engaged. Jane Austen’s first published work. If you want more Austen, she wrote three more novels that aren't on the Carp 500: Persuasion, Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey. |
