Undeniably Jane Austen at her best
At the ripe age of 212 years, this is a novel that has survived, prospered, and is assuredly ranked among the great tomes of literature. Sense and Sensibility set the benchmark for the Jane Austen novels that followed: Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma. Her other works; Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were published following her death in in 1817. While certain aspects of this book are highly reflective of the time of its writing – life expectancy being just one, it is overall quite timeless, and it takes little to assign the traits of characters you know or have encountered personally to those who populate this story. And there is the ongoing debate – at least among some – as to whether it is better to marry for love or for money; a choice that features prominently in decisions faced by the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. It is in total a tremendously well written novel with a story line that is creatively structured and a joy to read. You may well find yourself at times quite indecisive as to whether the male characters are more deserving of love or loathing; a decision not always easily arrived at. It is certainly historical in context, but its soul is the soul of love, and what can be considered more timeless than that.

A Jane Austen classic!
Arrived within 3 days in ok condition except some of the book edges are a bit frayed. Currently restocking my Jane Austen novels as the old ones are not in readable condition anymore.
