In a world ruled by money and self-interest, the Dashwood sisters have neither fortune nor connections. Concerned for others and for social proprieties, Elinor is ill-equipped to compete with self-centered fortune-hunters like Lucy Steele, while Marianne's unswerving belief in the truth of her own feelings makes her more dangerously susceptible to the designs of unscrupulous men. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen is one of six titles completing the Jane Austen collection, which includes Emma, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Northanger Abbey.
