Book Review:Sense and Sensibility -Jane Austen/Karen Swallow Prior

This edition of Sense and Sensibility stays true to Jane Austin's book but Karen Swallow Prior gives readers an opportunity to read the book and discuss it as Christians. Discussion questions are provided at the end of each section of the and at the end of the book. She includes a note to the reader which Karen says is to "enlighten and assist those who have read Sense and Sensibility and those who have not". Since she is aware that there are readers who have never read it before she is careful to avoid spoilers in her introduction to the work. There are also footnotes throughout the book to define or explain most archaic words and usages. I found this most helpful. This is a very nice edition of Sense and Sensibility with a beautiful hardcover and ribbon bookmark. Scriptures used are from the ESV (English Standard Version) so if you are not a fan of the ESV then feel to use the Bible version you prefer. I received a copy of this book from the publisher ( B&H) in exchange for my honest review. I apologize for the formatting of my post. I still can't get Blogger to cooperate.
