Sense and Sensibility

Inspired by recent current cultural movements (The Women's March, #MeToo), and the new wave of feminism, these new releases of classic books feature strong female protagonists who must navigate difficult situations involving class and power, love and loss, sex and family, independence and societal norms, and more.



From the front flap: "Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are salty when their dad dies and they're forced to go live with peeps they don't even really know. As awkward as it is though, it's not all downhill when the girls meet up with some guys who seem pretty chill.



Elinor's sorta feeling it with Edward Farrars, a man who's got his swag on; but Elinor knows she should watch herself and decides to play it cool. Marianne, on the other hand, just wants to swipe right. Though Colonel Brandon doesn't do it for her, she thinks that John Willoughby looks pretty fine and decides to hit him up."



As different as the two are, the Dashwood sisters are tight and just want each other to be happy. But Elinor and Marianne will have to learn to find a good balance between heart and mind if they want to stay lit.




Each book is packaged in an eye-catching luxe paperback format to appeal to the Generation Z buyer, though these timeless stories will appeal to anyone interested in the female experience throughout history. Other books in the Z Lit Classics series include: The Scarlet Letter, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Little Women, Tales from the 1001 Nights,, and The Awakening and Other Stories.
