In this episode, Amy and Sarah step back in time to another historic romance, Jane Austen's debut novel, *Sense and Sensibility.* Published in 1811, this masterpiece of character has everything the modern romance reader could dream of: a sudden change in fortune, an auspicious ankle sprain, at least one hefty age gap, and enough main character energy to put you in an early grave. Grab a cuppa (or some calming lavender drops) and get comfy, we have much to discuss.
