Description
A must-read for any devotee of Jane Austen, Janet Todd’s bodice-ripping reimagining of Austen’s epistolary novel Lady Susan will capture your literary imagination and get your heart racing.
Austen’s
only anti-heroine, Lady Susan, is a beautiful, charming widow who has
found herself, after the death of her husband, in a position of
financial instability and saddled with an unmarried, clumsy and
over-sensitive daughter. Faced with the unpalatable prospect of having
to spend her widowed life in the countryside, Lady Susan embarks on a
serious of manipulative games to ensure she can stay in town with her
first passion — the card tables. Scandal inevitably ensues as she
negotiates the politics of her late husband’s family, the identity of a
mysterious benefactor and a passionate affair with a married man.
Accurate
and true to Jane Austen’s style, as befits Todd’s position as a leading
Austen scholar, this second coming of Lady Susan is as shocking,
manipulative and hilarious as when Jane Austen first imagined her.
