Sense and Sensibility

"Jane Austen can in fact get more drama out of morality than most other writers can get from shipwreck, battle, murder, or mayhem."
-- Ronald Blythe

Two sisters representing the traits of the title "Marianne, the slave to sensibility and Elinor, a woman of sense" manoeuver their ways through the pitfalls of society and romance.

Some notes:

Sense and Sensibility was not the first novel Jane Austen wrote, but it was the first published after a title and style change.

And notice the time it takes to narrate this unabridged version of Sense and Sensibility.  It is a high quality recording but requires only a single mp3 CD.  Conventional audio recordings would be either abridged or require many CDs or tapes.  An mp3 CD can store up to 18 hours of narration ~ most of the classic audiobooks available from Decklin's Domain are on a single CD and several have more than one story included. Most stories are also available on USB thumbdrive or by direct download.
