Raison Et Sensibilité, Ou Les Deux Manières D'aimer (tome 4)

Two sisters, two philosophies of love. Elinor Dashwood guards her heart with iron discipline, swallowing her feelings for the man she cannot have while watching her younger sister burn with a passion that threatens to consume her. Marianne throws herself headlong into romance, convinced that true love means never holding back. When Willoughby vanishes and Edward is revealed to be already married, both sisters discover that the world has no patience for either extreme. Set against the glittering cruelty of Regency England's marriage market, where women are currency and fortune determines fate, Austen weaves a devastating comedy of manners where every dinner party conceals a power play and every engagement masks a transaction. The sisters must learn, through heartbreak and humiliation, that wisdom lies not in pure reason or pure feeling, but in the difficult balance between them. Sharp, funny, and quietly devastating.
