      Synopsis

      A vibrant retelling of Sense and Sensibility, Grange's sweeping epic breathes new life into another of Austen's best-loved novels.

      At the age of eighteen, James Brandon's world is shattered when the girl he loves, Eliza, is forced to marry his brother. In despair, he joins the army and leaves England for the East Indies for the next several years. Upon his return, he finds Eliza in a debtor's prison. He rescues her from her terrible situation, but she is dying of consumption and he can do nothing but watch and wait. Heartbroken at her death, he takes some consolation in her illegitimate daughter, who he raises as his ward. But at the age of fifteen, his ward goes missing. Devastated by the thought of what could have happened to her, he is surprised to find himself falling in love with Marianne Dashwood. But Marianne is falling in love with the charismatic Willoughby...

      Truly Amazing Spin on Classic Jane Austen!by Tigger12o2

      September 05, 2009: I must admit that I usually have misgivings about novels that give a personal account of classic literature; however, I was captivated and touched by Amanda Grange's retelling of Colonel Brandon's story. I have always felt Colonel Brandon is an understated hero (compared to the much beloved Mr. Darcy), but Grange breaths new life into this character. Well done!
