A masterful exploration of love and social structures Set in 18th century rural England, the novel follows the two sisters Elinor and Marianne, who face misunderstandings and prejudices after their fathers death. Marianne, impulsive and passionate, falls for the unsuitable John Willoughby, while Elinor, composed and reserved, conceals her own heartbreak. Through their parallel experiences, they learn that blending sense with sensibility is essential for finding happiness in a society ruled by status and money.
