From Joanna Trollope, one of the most insightful chroniclers of family life writing fiction today, comes a contemporary retelling of Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen's classic novel of love, money, and two very different sisters. John Dashwood promised his dying father that he would take care of his half sisters. But his wife, Fanny, has no desire to share their newly inherited estate. When she descends upon Norland Park, the three Dashwood girls--Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret--are faced with the realities of a cold world and the cruelties of life without their father, their home, or their money. With her sparkling wit, Joanna Trollope casts a clever, satirical eye on the tales of Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. Reimagining Sense and Sensibility in a fresh, modern new light, she spins the novel's romance, bonnets, and betrothals into a wonderfully witty coming-of-age story about the stuff that really makes the world go around. For when it comes to money, some things never change....

Joanna Trollope brings the characters of Austen's Sense and Sensibility firmly and believably into the 21st century and makes the readers care for them all over again. Trollope is neither too respectful of Austen nor too loose with the beloved story. She manages to find her own voice (and those who have read Trollope know it is a good voice) and make the material fresh. I had thought this book might be one more publishing gimmick--and it is--but it goes beyond that and stands as a very good read on its own. Austen fans should be pleased.
