More about the book

When the Dashwood family estate is inherited by the eldest son John, Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret must seek a new home.

Elinor soon finds herself courted by the gentlemanly Edward Ferrars, while Marianne is caught between two suitors: the brooding Colonel Brandon and the charming yet deceitful John Willoughby.
