AUSTEN, JANE
Recently widowed, the unscrupulous and beautiful Lady Susan Vernon is determined to scheme her way through high society in the hope of a profitable new match - all while trying to marry off her unfortunate daughter.
Told through a series of letters, Jane Austen's magnificent first novella is as subversive as it is charming.
