This excellent condition paperback was given to me by my friend Audrey W. for bookcrossing.
It tells the story of sisters Elinor and Marianne who lose their father and their beloved home all in a matter of weeks. The shock affects them in very different ways. Elinor tries to hold the family together while Marianne resists with all her might the change they must endure.

REVIEW:- I read several chapters of this book but have to admit that I haven't read the original Austen book. Therefore it didn't really appeal to me so I have given up on it.
I am reserving the book for another bookcrosser-Chocbrownie as it's on her wishlist.

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.
I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.
When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.

Journal Entry 5 by Chocbrownie at Christchurch, Dorset United Kingdom on Wednesday, November 1, 2017
Loved this modern re-write of Jane Austen's 'Sense & Sensibility'. I'm glad I kept the original version so I can re-read at some point.
On its way to Norway!
Thank you so much, Chocbrownie! This arrieved in my mailbox yesterday afternoon. I'm REALLY looking forward to reading this, since I'm a huge Jane Austen fan :-D
Finished this today. It feels quite a bit lighter than the original. I think the rewriting of the story into our modern world works OK. I'm glad I got to read it :-)
