[EAN: 9781535094115], Neubuch, [PU: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- A Beautiful, Different Kind of Novella From Jane Austen Imagine a Jane Austen heroine who is not a young virgin, but rather a recent widow in her thirties, in the midst of an affair with a married man. Lady Susan Vernon is 35, although she looks much younger, is exceedingly pretty, gentle, with great manners, well spoken, intelligent - the perfect woman! She shows zero conscience and is determined to alter her situation to give her the most benefit with little care about the feelings of those around her and disregarding anything but her own selfish goals. She is allowed to stay with her brother-in-law Charles Vernon and his wife Catherine in their family home. The Vernon s are noted for their generosity. Lady Susan turns on the charm, which no man can resist, but it s different with women, they can see through the outrageous lies, Catherine Vernon grows to dislike her intensely, and feels sorry for her distressed niece, Frederica, the daughter who has been deposited in a cheap boarding school. Susan is always plotting in this epistolary novella and everyone s writing letters to their confidants, friend or relative, revealing their true feelings, as in a polite society it is the only way. The novel also focuses on Frederica, Susan s timid 16-year old daughter. Frederica, who is terrorized by her mother, as Susan tries to marry her off to the wealthy, yet fatuous Sir James Martin against her wishes. Furthermore, Susan s skills in manipulation are confirmed when Catherine s younger brother, Reginald, arrives to meet the notoriously scandalous woman, whose name is attached to many raffish rumors. However, having a way with words, Susan effortlessly manipulates and twists the disreputable gossip to her favor and even has the naive man converted to the position of advocate. Her true nature is revealed through her correspondence with her friend Alicia Johnson, to whom she reveals all her schemes, contrivances, and the true depth of her unscrupulous nature. The much too short novella has one of the best female villains in the history of literature. Unlike Austen s most notable female characters, who are typically guided by principled objectives, Lady Susan is in contrast guided simply by her egocentric ways. An exciting view of Austen s early attempts to write in the epistolary format, Lady Susan presents a melodramatic piece full of details, descriptions, provocative characters, and a well-deserved taste of one s own medicine.
