Sense and Sensibility

About This Audiobook

After her husband's death, Mrs. Dashwood and her children left their beloved home and moved to Barton estate. Two of her daughters - eligible young women - though different in character, are equally seeking happiness and love. The emotional, impulsive Marianne dreams of a charming, sensitive man who enjoys the same books as she does. The gentle and sensible Eleanor will give her heart only to a calm and responsible person. Unfortunately, the world - ruled by social position and money instead of true feelings - may painfully disappoint these charming, trusting women...

About the Author

Jane Austen (1775–1817) stands among the most cherished novelists in the English language, a writer whose quiet life in the Hampshire countryside belied the revolutionary sharpness of her pen. The seventh of eight children in a close-knit clergyman's family, she began composing stories as a girl and went on to craft six luminous novels — Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion — every one published anonymously during her lifetime, credited simply to "A Lady." With wit as fine as a needle and an unerring eye for vanity, folly, and the small cruelties of polite society, she transformed the drawing rooms and country lanes of Regency England into stages for some of literature's most enduring romances and most penetrating social comedy. Though she died at just forty-one, leaving a final novel unfinished, her influence has only grown with the centuries, and her heroines — spirited, clever, and fiercely themselves — continue to delight and inspire readers the world over.
