Jane Austen

“When their father dies, the Dashwood sisters lose their home and fortune and move to a Devonshire cottage, where sensible Elinor hides a heartbreak and passionate Marianne throws herself into love with the dashing Willoughby.”

“Lively Elizabeth Bennet and proud Mr. Darcy misjudge each other from their first meeting, and must each overcome their own failings before they can see each other clearly.”

“Fanny Price, a poor relation taken in by her rich uncle at Mansfield Park, grows up quiet and overlooked — until the dazzling Crawfords arrive from London, and only she sees what they are.”

“Handsome, clever and rich, Emma Woodhouse has decided never to marry but to arrange everyone else's marriages in the village of Highbury — and gets nearly every one of them wrong, including her own.”

“Seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland, raised on Gothic novels, goes to Bath, makes false friends and a true one, and is invited to an ancient abbey — where she is sure some dreadful secret must be hidden.”

“Eight years after she was persuaded to break off her engagement to a penniless naval officer, Anne Elliot, overlooked by her vain family, meets Captain Wentworth again — rich, admired, and apparently indifferent to her.”
