  "The more I know of this world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!" 
  The two oldest Dashwood sisters approach romance differently. One impulsively jumps into love while the other is far more prudent. When tragedy strikes they find themselves searching for suitable husbands. Elinor feels ill-equipped to compete with the self-centred, fortune-driven society she finds herself in, whilst Marianne's unshakeable belief in her own feelings makes her susceptible to the designs of unscrupulous men.  
  Can they find true love?  
  Jane Austen's first published book was Sense and Sensibility, and her tale of love in late 18th-century England has captivated audiences since it was published. Rich in irony, wit, and romance, Austen is known for her critique of claustrophobic society and the role of women within it.

  Silas Marner

  George Eliot

  Though brief in length, George Eliot’s (Mary Ann Evans) Silas Marner is a beautifully nuanced tale. It touches on many themes such as social acceptance, the harshness of legalistic religion, the equally harsh consequences of familial expectations and the power of a simple but fierce redemptive love. 
  The touching story is gently unfolded by Eliot in writing which beautifully captures the tragic disfunctions of the Cass family and the humorous characters of Raveloe who slowly grow to accept the strange Weaver in their midst. At its heart is Silas Marner himself, enigmatic and remote to those who don’t know him, but we who are allowed to glimpse his bruised heart, know that restoration may still be his. 
  Head Stories Audio presents Silas Marner by George Eliot. Narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
