The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!'
"Sense & Sensibility" by Jane Austen'
The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!'
"Marianne
Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with
the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister
Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip
and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention,
is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from
those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its
threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility
if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and
money govern the rules of love."
Next to Pride & Prejudice, this book is my second favourite of Jane Austen's novels. It starts slowly, but soon, you can't stop reading, eager to know what happens next. You start to feel sorry for Elinor and suffer with Marianne. But in the end, there's a happy end in the known manner of Jane Austen.
Happy Reading! ♥
