Book excerpt: Lizzy and Jane couldn’t be further from Jane Austen’s famous sisters for whom they are named. Elizabeth left her family’s home in Seattle fifteen years ago to pursue her lifelong dream—chefing her own restaurant in New York City. Jane stayed behind to raise a family. Estranged since their mother’s death many years ago, the circumstances of their lives are about to bring them together once again. Known for her absolute command of her culinary domain, Elizabeth’s gifts in the kitchen have begun to elude her. And patrons and reviewers are noticing. In need of some rest and an opportunity to recover her passion for cooking, Elizabeth jumps at the excuse to rush to her sister’s bedside when Jane is diagnosed with cancer. After all, Elizabeth did the same for their mother. Perhaps this time, it will make a difference. As Elizabeth pours her renewed energy into her sister’s care and into her burgeoning interest in Nick, Jane’s handsome coworker, her life begins to evolve from the singular pursuit of her own dream into the beautiful world of family, food, literature, and love that was shattered when she and Jane lost their mother. Will she stay and become Lizzy to her sister’s Jane—and Elizabeth to Nick’s Mr. Darcy—or will she return to the life she has worked so hard to create?
Download or read book Unmarriageable written by Soniah Kamal and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This inventive retelling of Pride and Prejudice charms.”—People “A fun, page-turning romp and a thought-provoking look at the class-obsessed strata of Pakistani society.”—NPR Alys Binat has sworn never to marry—until an encounter with one Mr. Darsee at a wedding makes her reconsider. A scandal and vicious rumor concerning the Binat family have destroyed their fortune and prospects for desirable marriages, but Alys, the second and most practical of the five Binat daughters, has found happiness teaching English literature to schoolgirls. Knowing that many of her students won’t make it to graduation before dropping out to marry and have children, Alys teaches them about Jane Austen and her other literary heroes and hopes to inspire the girls to dream of more. When an invitation arrives to the biggest wedding their small town has seen in years, Mrs. Binat, certain that their luck is about to change, excitedly sets to work preparing her daughters to fish for rich, eligible bachelors. On the first night of the festivities, Alys’s lovely older sister, Jena, catches the eye of Fahad “Bungles” Bingla, the wildly successful—and single—entrepreneur. But Bungles’s friend Valentine Darsee is clearly unimpressed by the Binat family. Alys accidentally overhears his unflattering assessment of her and quickly dismisses him and his snobbish ways. As the days of lavish wedding parties unfold, the Binats wait breathlessly to see if Jena will land a proposal—and Alys begins to realize that Darsee’s brusque manner may be hiding a very different man from the one she saw at first glance. Told with wry wit and colorful prose, Unmarriageable is a charming update on Jane Austen’s beloved novel and an exhilarating exploration of love, marriage, class, and sisterhood. Praise for Unmarriageable “Delightful . . . Unmarriageable introduces readers to a rich Muslim culture. . . . [Kamal] observes family dramas with a satiric eye and treats readers to sparkling descriptions of a days-long wedding ceremony, with its high-fashion pageantry and higher social stakes.”—Star Tribune “Thoroughly charming.”—New York Post “[A] funny, sometimes romantic, often thought-provoking glimpse into Pakistani culture, one which adroitly illustrates the double standards women face when navigating sex, love, and marriage. This is a must-read for devout Austenites.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Book Synopsis Sense and Sensibility by : Jane Austen
Download or read book Sense and Sensibility written by Jane Austen and published by Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2023-01-28 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen that was published in three volumes in 1811 and became a classic. The comic work offers a lucid depiction of 19th-century middle-class life as it follows the romantic relationships of Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. While focusing on the sisters Elinor and Marianne, the novel tells the story of the impoverished Dashwood family. After sisters become destitute upon the death of their father, they leave to John, their half- brother who is instructed to take care of them. But John is dissuaded of his duty by Fanny, his greedy wife. Initially, titled as Elinor and Marianne, Austen significantly revised it in 1809. It was her first published novel. Sense and Sensibility contains what would become Austens trademark features: insightful observation, characterization, and wit. Upon publication, Sense and Sensibility was a success and it later was adapted for film, stage, and television. After its commercial success, it spurred a resurgence of interest in Austens other novels.
Book Synopsis Sense and Sensibility the Annotated by : Jane Austen
Download or read book Sense and Sensibility the Annotated written by Jane Austen and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in October 1811, Sense and Sensibility was the first of Austen's novels to be presented for public consumption. As it turned out, readers loved it, and the novel sold out its first edition of 750 copies (which was a lot back then) by 1813. However, Austen herself didn't become an overnight sensation; rather, throughout her brief lifetime, she published under the pseudonym, "A Lady," and never attained much personal fame. Her books, on the other hand, were quite successful; she followed up Sense and Sensibility with Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma, as well as two posthumously published novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion.Though Sense and Sensibility is Austen's first full-length novel, it possesses a lot of the traits that we see in some of her later, somewhat more widely read, works - her books grant us an intimate glance into the everyday lives of women in early nineteenth century England. We learn about their trials and tribulations (mostly having to do with romantic relationships - looks like not much has changed there over all these years), as well as about the importance of family life.On that note, it's thought that Sense and Sensibility was largely inspired by Austen's own relationship with her much-beloved sister, Cassandra; in the novel, we can see Cassandra in the older, wiser Elinor, while Jane is more like the impulsive, emotional Marianne. This personal connection makes Sense and Sensibility particularly dear to the hearts of many Janeites (Austen's devoted fans, who are legion in number).The single most compelling reason to care about Sense and Sensibility is totally up front - so up front, in fact, that Jane Austen practically smacks you in the face with it. The whole book is basically an extended debate between two things most of us know well, logic and emotion (that is to say, "SENSE" and "SENSIBILITY"). The fact of the matter is, while it's also a novel about the nuances of nineteenth century social mores, family life, and economic reality, Austen's book primarily forces all of its readers to confront a very personal, very relevant question: how do each of us lead our lives? Are we Elinors (logic) or Mariannes (emotion), or some combination of the two? And are we happy that way?The trials and tribulations of the Dashwood sisters may seem outdated to us at times, but in the end, Elinor and Marianne's individual ways of approaching life are still pretty gosh darn recognizable: we don't know about you, but here at Shmoop, we all know our share of practical Elinors, who are led by their logical minds, and impulsive, passionate Mariannes, who let their hearts take control. The question that the novel asks is simple: is one of these ways of living better than the other? Or is a third path open to us?Both Elinor and Marianne have their pros and cons: Elinor may be practical and pragmatic, but she's also emotionally stifled, and ends up making her suffering greater by keeping it bottled up. Marianne, on the other hand, doesn't keep anything bottled up - she's all out there, all the time. However, her foolhardy, passionate nature is almost the death of her, and her lack of regard for others, or society on the whole, even, is legendary. It seems, then, that neither sense nor sensibility can function on its own. Both of the Dashwood sisters learn to combine them by the end of the novel, but the real final question is - can we?
