Jane's first published novel is a wonderfully entertaining tale of flirtation and folly that revolves around two starkly different sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. While Elinor is thoughtful, considerate, and calm, her younger sister is emotional and wildly romantic. Both are looking for a husband, but the startling secrets, unexpected twists, and heartless betrayals interrupt the marriage games that follow. S&S is filled with satiric wit and subtle characterizations, but teaches us that true love requires a balance of reason and emotion. Be Thrifty!
