Summary
“After the Rain” is a novella featuring a slow-burn romance between Sense and Sensibility's Colonel Brandon and Marianne Dashwood - as inspired by Alan Rickman and Kate Winslet's portrayals in the 1995 film.
Compared to Austen's book, the story is relatively modern-voiced, and told primarily from Marianne Dashwood’s point of view as she recovers—physically and emotionally—in the quiet weeks following Willoughby’s betrayal.
In the stillness that follows the storm, her thoughts often drift to what was lost: the promises, the poetry, the man who left her.
But day after day, another man remains. And something begins to stir.
