![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Our charming anti-heroine has also been trying to ensnare wealthy family friend, Sir James Martin, for Frederica, who wants none of him (the reason becomes clear later on). Something's obviously gone down between Susan and the husband, and naturally the wife wants rid of her. The novel begins with Susan and her daughter, Frederica, vacating the house of the Manwaring family, who they've been staying with. She's horrible really, but fun to read about. In any other Jane Austen book she'd be a scheming side-character, but because the novel is told through letters she almost manages to get you on side. The story focuses around the widowed Lady Susan Vernon, who's not your typical heroine. It's not as good as Jane Austen's other works, but it's funny and a bit different. The book itself is nice and short (so not that intimidating) and I would really recommend it. ![]()
