    About this ebook

    Austen's most wicked tale, 'Lady Susan' is a short epistolary novel. Is a selfish, attractive woman, who tries to trap the best possible husband while maintaining a relationship with a married man. She subverts all the standards of the romantic novel; she has an active role, she's not only beautiful but intelligent and witty, and her suitors are significantly younger than she is.
