Look for me wearing a black Pemberley t-shirt. Look for the book on the table.

Agenda:
1:00pm - 1:15pm Introductions and Food and Drink Orders
1:15pm - 3:00pm Book Club Discussion
3:00pm Wrap Up

We will start with introducing ourselves and share our favorite Austen and non-Austen books along with maybe a fun fact about yourself if you feel like sharing. Then we will have a round table-type discussion of the novel and tv/film adaptations. I will have some prompts to get us started but I hope to keep things fairly informal. See you there! \~ Lisa

About the Book:

Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen’s first published novel, is a wonderfully entertaining tale of flirtation and folly that revolves around two starkly different sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. While Elinor is thoughtful, considerate, and calm, her younger sister is emotional and wildly romantic. Both are looking for a husband, but neither Elinor’s reason nor Marianne’s passion can lead them to perfect happiness. As Marianne falls for John Willoughby, an unscrupulous rascal, Elinor becomes attached to Edward Ferrars, a man who’s already engaged. Startling secrets, unexpected twists, and heartless betrayals interrupt the marriage games that follow, as Austen explores the notion that “Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.”

Begun when Austen was only twenty and originally titled “Elinor and Marianne,” Sense and Sensibility has enshrined for generations of readers the lovable and complimentary Sisters Dashwood, who collectively appeal both to the fire of impetuous youth and the constancy of staid maturity. Filled with satiric wit and subtle characterizations, Sense and Sensibility teaches us that true love requires a balance of reason and emotion.
