About this product

Recently widowed, the beautiful and unscrupulous Lady Susan Vernon visits her brother-in-law’s estate with a clear agenda: to secure a profitable new husband for herself while simultaneously forcing her reluctant daughter, Frederica, into a marriage with a wealthy but dim-witted suitor. Unlike typical Austen heroines, Lady Susan is a masterful flirt and a cold-hearted manipulator. Told through a series of increasingly scandalous letters, this epistolary novella showcases a darker, sharper side of Austen’s wit as the title character schemes her way through high society.
