About
In Sense and Sensibility, the first of Jane Austen's novels to be published, Austen created a brilliant tragicomedy of flirtation and folly. Genteel dinner parties and romantic walks through luxuriant Devonshire draw two attractive sisters into the schemes of landed gentry set on “marrying up.” But neither emotionality nor practicality guarantee happiness for either. With her wry insight into the English middle class, Austen shows that the best man isn't obvious.

Reviews
"Miss Austen gives us all the agony of passion the human heart can feel; she was the first; and none has written the scene that we all desire to write as truthfully as she has…It is here that we find the burning human heart in English prose narrative for the first, and, alas, for the last time."
George Moore
"As nearly flawless as any fiction could be."
Eudora Welty
"[Narrator Nadia May gives] a spirited reading, using skillful phrasing to interpret the text. She gives the characters distinct voices and captures their personalities perfectly."
