“To wish was to hope, and to hope was to expect.”

The wait is over! Today, you can dive into the classic story of the Dashwood sisters, whether for the first time or as a long-time fan, within this new gorgeous (and fabulously pink!) edition, with both a beautiful new cover and interior hardcase done by the talented Julia JM.

Just in case you need a refresher, here’s our  blurb for Sense and Sensibility:

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 behavior 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.

Thank you all so much for your continued support of our bookish corner! It feels only appropriate to close off this newsletter with some wisdom from Edward Ferrars himself in Sense and Sensibility: “I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.”

XOXO,
