In this episode, Amy and Sarah step back in time to another historic romance, Jane Austen's debut novel, Sense and Sensibility. Published in 1811, this masterpiece of character has everything the modern romance reader could dream of: a sudden change in fortune, an auspicious ankle sprain, at least one hefty age gap, and enough main character energy to put you in an early grave. Grab a cuppa (or some calming lavender drops) and get comfy, we have much to discuss.
