Catherine Morland meets all the trappings of Gothic horror and imagines the worst. Disaster does eventually strike, as it does in the real world as distinct from the romantic one, but without spoiling the wonderful atmosphere of this story.
In early nineteenth-century England, a spirited young woman copes with the suit of a snobbish gentleman, as well as the romantic entanglements of her four sisters, in a story with background information on Jane Austen and her times.
Two devoted sisters, calm Elinor and excitable Marianne, are forced to find suitable husbands for themselves. As they suffer a series of disappointments, they begin to wonder whether they will ever find true love and happiness.
