MRS DASHWOOD is devastated when her beloved husband dies. The late MR DASHWOODs estate and fortune are bequeathed by law to his son from a previous marriage, JOHN DASHWOOD, to the delight of Johns rapacious wife, FANNY. Mrs Dashwood and her daughters are forced to move to a tiny cottage on a cousins estate in Devonshire, to start their lives again. It is perhaps Elinor, the eldest daughter, who is most upset to leave her childhood home. She has fallen in love with Fannys brother, the kind and unassuming EDWARD FERRARS. However, Mrs Dashwoods cousin, SIR JOHN MIDDLETON, ensures that the family settles into life in Devonshire. Before long, Elinors younger sister, MARIANNE, finds that she has an admirer in Sir Johns friend, COLONEL BRANDON. However, a rival soon emerges in the form of the dashing young neighbour, WILLOUGHBY, who rescues Marianne after a fall. As Elinor eagerly awaits a visit from Edward, Marianne realises that she has two suitors to choose from COLONEL BRANDON is called away on urgent business and MARIANNE and Brandons rival, WILLOUGHBY, are left to fall blissfully in love. ELINOR finally receives her visit from Edward, but his behaviour is so odd and distant that she is far from reassured. Sir Johns nieces, the MISS STEELES, come to Devonshire and Elinor receives the shock of her life when LUCY STEELE confides in her that she is secretly engaged to Edward. Elinors heart is broken but shes true to her word and keeps Lucys secret, even from her sister, Marianne.

When Elinor learns that Edward intends to honour his engagement to Lucy Steele, even though this means being disinherited by his mother, she and Marianne decide to leave London. They are both heartbroken. They stay with Mrs Jenningss daughter, CHARLOTTE PALMER, in Cleveland where Marianne falls gravely ill.
