Pemberlittens June/July

Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen, published in 1811. It was published anonymously; By A Lady appears on the title page where the author’s name might have been. It tells the story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor (age 19) and Marianne (age 16 1/2) as they come of age.

I joined a group that reads Austen called the Pemberlittens. I am a Bronte girl, however I love Sense and Sensibility and was up for a reread. It was fun to revisit this a chapter at a time and I may join in off and on when they read other books or retellings. I have found that I have truly enjoyed the chapter a day format for reading and am doing it more and more with many books. It’s just the right amount of attention span I have right now.
