Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility | Adapted by Jessica Swale

Long before Bridgerton sparked desires and ignited our screens, a young new writer was setting the hearts of England ablaze with the deep longing of her captivating characters.

When their father’s death leaves them penniless and socially vulnerable, sisters Elinor and Marianne must navigate the snares of society and determine where their values truly lie. How can they listen to their hearts when money dictates marriages? Will pragmatism or romance win out in the end? Austen’s celebrated first novel captures the twisting relationships and delicate emotions of the Dashwood sisters with humor and style.
