The novel follows Dashwood's three sisters because they must move with their widowed mother from Norland Park, where they grew up. Since Norland passed on to Mr. Dashwood's first marriage, John and his youngest son, the four Dashwood women needed to find a new home. They had the opportunity to rent a simple house, Barton Lodge, on the property of a distant relative, Sir John Middleton. They experience love, romance and heartbreak there.
