  "Sense and Sensibility," written in 1811, was the first of six books by legendary British author Jane Austen.   
  In the story, we meet Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters, who are betrayed by a family member and left in dire financial straits. Since none of the girls will come with a dowry, the prospects of their marrying well are extremely unlikely. One day, while out for a walk in the rain, the middle daughter, Marianne, twists her ankle and is rescued by the handsome Mr. Willoughby. Though cautioned by her older sister Elinor to be wary, Marianne - blinded by love - rushes into the budding romance headlong...with grim consequences.   
  What follows is a thrilling and fascinating tale of romance, intrigue, disloyalty and redemption in what has become one of the most celebrated and cherished works of fiction in literary history. Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" is presented here in its original and unabridged format and has been narrated by renowned audiobook narrator Sara Nichols, best known for her narration of Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," Willa Cather's "Prairie Trilogy" and all of the books written by Jane Austen, which are also available on this platform.

  Rendered in powerful, unaffected prose, Awake in the Dark is an illuminating and startling book about the disguises we don, the secrets we keep, and the consequences of our silences.
