Elinor and Marianne

First published in 1996, this sequel to Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, written as an exchange of letters, Elinor and Marianne is the correspondence between the married Dashwood sisters — Mrs Brandon and Mrs Edward Ferrars. Passion, in the shape of the charming seducer Willoughby, makes an appearance, together with the perennial themes of money and social embarrassment.
