 Rating:  - "Sense and Sensibility" - a must-readOne of the best things you can do for yourself is to read or reread one of Jane Austen's books.

The two eldest Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, find both romance and heartbreak in their new home. Elinor is sensible and restrained, so that even when she falls in love with Edward, she keeps her feelings to herself because she knows that marriage is not a possibility. ...
