Lady Susan by Jane Austen

Lady Susan by Jane Austen | Beautiful, brilliant, and utterly unapologetic—Lady Susan Vernon is no ordinary woman in Jane Austen’s world. With irresistible charm and a razor-sharp tongue, she plays with love and reputation like pieces on a social chessboard.
Through a series of sly, scandal-laced letters, readers witness how one widow shakes the foundations of polite society with elegance and manipulation.

In a world that demands propriety, Lady Susan chooses power. And she has no intention of saying sorry.
