Two sisters, turned out of their home, try sense and feeling as ways of surviving love and reduced means. It was Austen’s first published novel.

About the author

Austen wrote six finished novels about money, rank, and judgment in English gentry life. The wit is social rather than sentimental: people reveal themselves by what they notice. More of this shelf for Jane Austen.
