Penguin Classics Sense And Sensibility

by Jane Austen
Editor: Ross Ballaster
Foreword by: Tony Tanner

Penguin UK (PB) | February 25, 2003 | Trade Paperback

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.

Having seen and loved the Ang Lee movie with Emma Thompson's screenplay, I didn't know what the book would add.
As usual, though, the book gives more depth to the characters and plot, and Willoughby's actions are more understandable, although still wrong.
A few other changes, like a wife and children for Sir John Middleton, but overall, an enjoyable read.
The character change in Marianne, from a vivacious to sedate, is such a departure that I find it hard to believe, broken heart, or not.
