Sense and Sensibility in Space

Jane Austen in Space #2

by Sybil Nelson

When sensible and wise Elsinor Dashing falls in a love with a man beyond her social standing, she finds herself locked in an emotional prison as she struggles to keep her romantic disappointment a secret. On the other hand, when her passionate and impulsive brother, Madrick, falls in love with the beautiful and mysterious Willow King, their ill-advised romance lands him in a literal prison. Through their individual challenges, the siblings learn that they must have both sense and sensibility if they are to find happiness in a society where status and species govern the rules of love. This futuristic take on a classic tale continues the stories of characters first introduced in Pride and Prejudice in Space.

Austen meets Asimov

A delightful combination! These books are the most fun since Gil the Arm. The
formality of Jane Austen's novels moved centuries into the future. All the intrigue of England takes place on a distant planet--Aijalon. Don't miss it!

I am just loving this Jane Austen retellings. I did accidently read the series out of order, but it was close enough in time that it didn't matter. I wish the author would continue with the storyline and the series. I filed this book under the prompt read an out of this world book (hpootp 2024)
