SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
TROLLOPE, JOANNA
When their father unexpectedly dies, the three Dashwood girls—Elinor, Marianne and Margaret—must
face the harsh reality of a life where they no longer have the home or the financial security that they have
always taken for granted. As they come to terms with life without the comforts of either their country
house or an inheritance, Elinor, a sensible architecture student, and Marianne, a passionate, musical free
spirit, are also confronted by a world where their choices are abruptly limited by their new and alarming
circumstances. With her trademark insight and wit, Joanna Trollope has brought Austen’s characters and
their story into the 21st century. In the timeless spirit of their creator, she casts a clever, gently satirical
eye on Elinor and Marianne as they are forced to navigate the modern world and the search for love. The
results are both heartbreaking and hilarious, but always, in the hands of consummate storyteller Trollope,
hugely entertaining and achingly true to life. Reimagining Sense and Sensibility in a fresh and
contemporary light, Trollope recasts this beloved coming-of-age story as a perfect tale for our times.

SERENA
RASH, RON
The year is 1929, and newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton travel from Boston to the North
Carolina mountains where they plan to create a timber empire. Although George has already lived in the
camp long enough to father an illegitimate child, Serena is new to the mountains – but she soon shows
herself to be the equal of any man, overseeing crews, hunting rattlesnakes, even saving her husband’s
life in the wilderness. Together this lord and lady of the woodlands ruthlessly kill or vanquish all who fall
out of favor. Yet when Serena learns that she will never bear a child, she sets out to murder the son
George fathered without her. Mother and child begin a struggle for their lives, and when Serena suspects
George is protecting his illegitimate family, the Pembertons’ intense, passionate marriage starts to unravel
as the story moves toward its shocking reckoning.
