4.5

As usual, Jane Austen’s ability to highlight the benefits and downsides of different tendencies in two characters equally endearing is unparalleled. While Sense and Sensibility does not contain the same thrilling speech that is found in Pride & Prejudice, there is perhaps a more realistic and wholesome story of affection—between sisters as much as between romantic pairs. Having never read this book before, I found Hannah Curtis’s narration very engaging.
