'The wit of Jane Austen has for partner the perfection of her taste' Virginia Woolf
Jane Austen's subtle and witty novel of secrets and suppression, lies and seduction, brilliantly portrays a world where rigid social convention clashes with the impulses of the heart. It tells the story of two very different sisters who find themselves thrown into an unkind world when their father dies. Marianne, wild and impulsive, falls dangerously in love, while Elinor suffers her own private heartbreak but conceals her true feelings, even from those closest to her.
Edited with an Introduction by ROS BALLASTER

      Gr 7 Up-Austen's stellar debut novel showcases the lives of the Dashwood sisters who are forced to leave the family estate at Norland Park and move to Barton Cottage-a property belonging to their distant relative, Sir John Middleton. This becomes the catalyst for a life-changing journey rooted in loyalty, romance, and heartbreak. It can be used as a mentor text with current YA novels and be paired with informational texts centering women's history and social class. A balance of head and heart are advantageous when finding your perfect match, and Marianne's all-in approach on romance, with sometimes disastrous results, set against Elinor's more guarded approach to love give two different perspectives on romance that readers can relate to.VERDICT A coming-of-age classic set in Regency England. A must-have for teens and adults alike.-Ashley Leffel & Darius Phelps
