Lady Susan
Inspired by ‘Les Liaisons Dangereuses’ and written in a similar epistolary form, ‘Lady Susan’ was one of Austen’s earliest finished works. In it she reveals all the caustic wit and brilliant social satire of her later novels.

'Of what a mistake were you guilty in marrying a Man of his age! - just old enough to be formal, ungovernable and to have the Gout - too old to be agreable, and too young to die.'
The scheming and unscrupulous Lady Susan is unlike any Austen heroine you've met in this fascinating early novella.
