Different than Austen's usual romance novels, Sense and Sensibility was fitting to its name - a story revolving around 2 sisters and their differing traits from each other, I liked this novel for its brilliant satire, sarcastic undertones and a set of characters and pace of story that moved really well. Elinor is amongst my favorite heroines of Austen now, but I find relevance more in Marianne, and you know the novel did justice well to both the characters when you find yourself struggling to choose your favorite amongst the two strikingly different leads. Sense and Sensibility is a novel I enjoyed thoroughly, and would like to pick up sometime soon again.
