The Year in Between explores the untold year in the last chapter of Sense and Sensibility. Marianne Dashwood was "born to an extraordinary fate...to discover the falsehood of her own opinions, and to counteract, by her conduct, her most favorite maxims". After Willoughby's betrayal, how did Marianne learn to see Colonel Brandon--and herself--in a new light? And how did Elinor Dashwood and Edward Ferrars fare during their first year of marriage?

I think that is the very best kind of love—that which we receive in spite of our flaws.
