Hey there, readers! We are thrilled to be back on the podcast today, discussing a hilarious, heartbreaking, hopeful novel by one of our favorite authors. As we anticipate the US release of the new Sense and Sensibility film adaptation, we wanted to get together for a book-club-style chat about what treasures this classic work holds for modern audiences. What is Austen saying about sense and sensibility? Why is it so easy to relate to one, or both, sisters? How much money does it take to buy happiness? We explore all of these questions, and more, in a full length, traditional Novel Pairings episode—now available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app.
In addition to our book discussion, we share six contemporary pairings that match Sense and Sensibility in themes of sisterhood, marriage, class, second attachments, and home renovation. We also drop a few hints about more Novel Pairings conversations to come, including a thorough debrief on both the 1995 and 2026 film adaptations (and more!).
