More Jane Austen! More Jane Austen! You know we love a good Jane Austen novel on this podcast, so there’s no way I could say no when Allison asked to do Sense and Sensibility. I know you all are going to love this episode because we are diving headfirst into this world once again.

Sense and Sensibility Summary

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
