This masterful portrait of Regency England blends Jane Austen’s social commentary into a tale of romance, heartbreak and tentacled mayhem.

As our story opens, the Dashwood sisters are evicted from their childhood home and sent to live on a mysterious island full of savage creatures and dark secrets. While sensible Elinor falls in love with Edward Ferrars, her romantic sister Marianne is courted by both the handsome Willoughby and the hideous man-monster Colonel Brandon. Can the Dashwood sisters triumph over meddlesome matriarchs and unscrupulous rogues to find true love? Or will they fall prey to the tentacles that are forever snapping at their heels?

Mid-sized paperback in very good condition, just some light discolouration on the top and bottom page edges.
