Sense & Sensibility by Joanna Trollope, 368 pages

This is the classic Jane Austen tale of the the Dashwood clan, left penniless and homeless at the death of their father.  You might think, how could that happen today?  Joanna Trollope does at great job of making the back story make sense.

This is a totally modern version of the book - all the characters are there, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, mother Belle, Edward Ferrars, John Willoughby, John and Fanny Dashwood, and the list goes on.

The sisters have to deal with texting, twitter and YouTube videos of Marianne throwing herself at John at a wedding along with everything else.

Hilarious, fun and a perfect summer read or listen.
