Jane Austen's first published novel is a novel of manners about the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, who respond to love, loss, and reduced circumstances in contrasting ways. It follows their paths through family expectations and unsuitable suitors, pairing sharp social observation with warm insight into character. It rewards attention with its wit and emotional precision.
