Oh! Mamma, how spiritless, how tame was Edward's manner in reading to us last night! I felt for my sister most severely. Yet she bore it with so much composure, she seemed scarcely to notice it. I could hardly keep my seat. Spirited & impulsive, Marianne Dashwood is the complete opposite to her controlled & sensible sister Elinor. When it comes to matters of the heart, Marianne is passionate & romantic & soon falls for the charming, but unreliable Mr Willoughby. Elinor, in contrast, copes stoically well with the news that her love, Edward Ferrars is promised to another. It is through their shared experiences of love that both sisters come to learn that the key to a successful match comes from finding the perfect mixture of rationality & feeling. ...

This book expands the original text of the beloved Jane Austen novel with all-new scenes of giant lobsters, rampaging octopi, two-headed sea serpents, & other biological monstrosities. As our story opens, the Dashwood sisters are evicted from their childhood home & sent to live on a mysterious island full of creatures & dark secrets. While sensible Elinor falls in love with Edward Ferrars, her romantic sister Marianne is courted by both the handsome Willoughby & the hideous man-monster Colonel Brandon. Can the Dashwood sisters triumph over meddlesome matriarchs & unscrupulous rogues to find true love? Or will they fall prey to the tentacles that are forever snapping at their heels?

- & only the swiftest swimmers will find true love!

Their mutual suffering brings a closer understanding between the two sisters--and true love finally triumphs when sense gives way to sensibility & sensibility gives way to sense. ...
