New hardcover. A deluxe gift edition of Jane Austen's first novel with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, and a silk ribbon bookmark.
The Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, are in urgent need of financial security, ideally in the form of husbands. Elinor is as prudent as her sister Marianne is impetuous, and each must learn from the other after they are forced by their father's death to leave their home and enter into the contests of polite society. The charms of unsuitable men and the schemes of rival ladies mean that their paths to success are often thwarted by disappointment, but together they attempt to find a way to happiness.
