Perhaps a Little Madness
Three men, two very different sisters, and not enough jobs.
After the death of their father, Helen and Julia Andris find themselves with no income and university studies to finish in subjects that have little use in the modern world. Their family is a jigsaw of highly contrasting and frequently clashing personalities. And the men they fall in love with have work and family problems of their own.
C J Martin reinterprets Jane Austen’s beloved Sense and Sensibility for the twenty-first century. With evocative settings in urban and country Australia, careful crafting of plot and an empathetic conception of character, this is an insightful tale of family, love, and the conflicting force of ambition.
Love can make us all a little mad.
