Summary
Lady Susan was the first of Jane Austen's novels to be completed. An epistolary novel in eighteenth-century style, it tells the story of the recently widowed Lady Susan Vernon, intelligent but highly manipulative, who is intent on gaining financially secure relationships for both herself and her wayward but shy teenage daughter Frederica. Less known than Austen's six great later novels, it demonstrates the wit and sharp observations of Jane Austen - and is shown at its best in audiobook form, with different actresses presenting real characters as they read their letters.

This was delightful but it seems Jane gave up and in the end simply told the story rather than writing it in letters. Maybe it was just too taxing to change voices for the letters but I thoroughly enjoyed her effort.

It took me totally by surprise how witty and Jane Austen was. Her view on the upper class is absolutely genius.
