The Book Club book

Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility is a subtle and intelligent story of secrets and lies,  and wonderfully shows a world where fixed social rules meet the feelings of the heart.  Two very different sisters find themselves in a new world when their father dies. Marianne, wild and emotional, falls dangerously in love, while Elinor suffers heartbreak but hides what she really feels, even from her closest friends and family.

Geoff says:

"I chose this book because it is beautifully written. Jane Austen really understood human nature and delightfully describes characters and human situations."
