Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
A Goodreads user asked this question about Sense and Sensibility:
Is Sense and Sensibility suitable for an innocent 13-year-old? Basically my question is are there any sex scenes in the book?
Melanti It was written in 1811 by the daughter of a rector. So, no sex scenes.
Ms. Austen would be quite, quite shocked to hear you even ask such a thing!
