About this ebook
At twenty-eight, Margaret Dashwood is considered by many to be hopelessly past marriageable age. As a girl, she watched her sisters suffer from love and loss, and as a young woman, she found that few gentleman could keep up with her, let alone surprise her. She is content living in a modest cottage with her mother, reading and writing and walking the countryside.
Margaret has one close friend, Rupert, with whom she shares a passion for Shakespeare. He is planning to rent a cottage near her house for is sabbatical year, and they will work on a book together. But when at last he arrives, he brings his new wife, Cecelia. And Cecelia's closest cousin is none other than John Willoughby, who broke Margaret's sister's heart fifteen years before but whom Margaret has always secretly admired. Margaret's friendship with Rupert is tested to its limits as she navigates the challenges and temptations of attraction, trying to answer the question for herself: What is love?
A fascinating sequel to Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, The Other Dashwood Sister explores what true partnership means, and whether marriage is even possible for a brilliant and independent woman who wants to stay that way.
