Love, love, LOOOOOVE this story. The Dashwood sisters are basically disinherited on the death of her father, as their estate is entailed to their brother, and they have to rely on the compassion of distant family members to live.
I could totally relate to Elinor, the older sister (the "Sense" of the title), who falls in love but is unable to be with the man he loves. I could also totally relate to Marianne, who falls in love with someone really unsuitable for her. Been there, done that!
Of course, since this is Jane Austen, all ends happily, with each woman ending up with the perfect man (and it's not who you think!), money, etc. Tralalaaaa...but it's all so wonderfully written, so witty, that you ignore all the cliches and improbabilities. It's so good!
Don't let the cheeseball cover fool you: this is NOT some silly Harlequin. This is good stuff!
