Sense and Sensibility

Elinor and Marianne are the main characters in this book written by Jane Austen. Elinor is the eldest daughter of three. Marianne is the middle child. Their love lives fall apart when Elinor falls in love with an engaged man and Marianne falls in love with a man who gets married. Elinor tries to forget the man she loves and Marianne tries to but finds she can't. It all takes place in the past but all the scenes described are very realistic. This book is at a higher level. It was hard reading for me. I do recommend it to teenage girls and adults. This book is a good mother-daughter book.
