Two sisters, opposite in everything. Elinor hides her feelings behind perfect manners while Marianne wears every emotion openly, and when love and money trouble both of them, each sister's way of coping is tested to breaking. Jane Austen's first published novel is a story about grief, gossip, and growing up without losing your heart.
