This Month's Book

Sense and Sensibility
By Jane Austen

When their father dies and his estate passes to their half-brother, the Dashwood sisters find themselves suddenly without fortune or a home. Sensible, steady Elinor keeps her feelings carefully under lock and key, while passionate Marianne wears her heart on her sleeve for all of society to see. As the sisters navigate new surroundings, charming suitors, hidden engagements, and more than a few heartbreaks, each learns that love rarely follows the rules we set for it.

Published in 1811, Austen’s first novel is a witty, warm, and surprisingly relatable story about sisterhood, disappointment, and the difficult balance between head and heart. Whether you’re Team Elinor or Team Marianne (and we suspect our table will be split), it’s a book that invites plenty of lively debate. Grab your copy, settle in with a cup of tea, and come share your thoughts with us.

Event Calendar

"I'm so glad I joined!"

I joined Story Club thinking I’d read a few more books this year. I didn’t expect to find a group of women who feel like family. Thursday nights are now my favorite part of the week!
