To meget forskellige søstres kærlighedshistorier. Den ene romantisk og stormfuld, den anden rolig og besindig. Foregår i den engelske overklasse i 1800-tallets begyndelse.
Knowing the story didn't stop me from hoping Marianne would come to her senses sooner, wishing Elinor never met Lucy Steele, and wondering why I keep loving Jane Austen's moralism. Perhaps observant wit and stunning use of dialog to shape characters and forward the plot have something to do with the enduring fascination.
Dear Goodreads, Please make it possible to add various versions of a title to my list. Rosamund Pike's performance of this classic for Audible deserves special notice. ( )
Boring main characters, boring love interests, boring plot. The quality of writing fits Jane Austen's norm, but the novel's actual contents were awful. ( )
Picked as a start of the year comfort read at book club this was an enjoyable re-read. The plotting and characters are as good as ever in Jane Austen books, and moves to the desired end point of everyone suitably married. ( )

His temper might perhaps be a little soured by finding, like many others of his sex, that through some unaccountable bias in favour of beauty, he was the husband of a very silly woman, - but she knew that this kind of blunder was too common for any sensible man to be lastingly hurt by it.
"Well, it is the oddest thing to me, that a man should use such a pretty girl so ill! But when there is plenty of money on one side, and next to none on the other, Lord bless you! they care no more about such things! - "
[...] after experiencing the blessings of *one* imprudent engagement, contracted without his mother's consent, as he had already done for more than four years, nothing less could be expected of him in the failure of *that*, than the immediate contraction of another.

Between Barton and Delaford, there was that constant communication which strong family affection would naturally dictate;—and among the merits and the happiness of Elinor and Marianne, let it not be ranked as the least considerable, that though sisters, and living almost within sight of each other, they could live without disagreement between themselves, or producing coolness between their husbands.
