Two sisters, two approaches to love

Elinor and Marianne Dashwood respond to love in sharply different ways: Elinor with reserve and practicality, Marianne with passion and impulse. Their experiences bring those contrasts into conversation as both sisters face romantic disappointment in a society shaped by status and money. The novel’s central tension is not simply between reason and feeling; the sisters’ journeys also connect private hopes to the social constraints around them. This HarperTeen edition presents Jane Austen’s classic for a modern teen audience.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults exploring classic fiction
  • Readers interested in sister relationships and contrasting approaches to romance
  • Readers curious about how status and money shape courtship in a classic novel

Book overview

Jane Austen's sweepingly romantic masterpiece continues to delight generation after generation of readers. Beautifully presented for a modern teen audience, this is the must-have edition of a timeless classic.

Teenage sisters Marianne and Elinor Dashwood could not be more different. Marianne is passionat Se, impetuous, and recklessly romantic. Elinor is practical, thoughtful, and completely reserved. But Marianne and Elinor discover they have more in common than they thought when they both fall head over heels in love with unattainable men.

Opposites in every way except for their heartbreak, the two girls are determined to make their dreams come true. But in a society ruled by status and money, Elinor and Marianne will have to fight for the happy ending they both deserve. Through a series of romantic misadventures the girls come to realize that the key to their happiness may not lie in fiery passion or strict reason--but somewhere in between.
