JaneAusten,
Lady Susan
Hello dears,
I have read "Lady Susan" and I found a little different from other novels of Jane Austen. The book is a exchange of letters between all characters, so you have to read with very attention to understand and follow the story.
Lady Susan uses flirtation and seduction to gain her way through life. She dates secretly with a married man and seduces singles men just for fun.
She is so selfish that she is able to ruin the happiness of her daughter(Frederica Vernon) just to gets what she wants. She even calls her stupid girl.
Nobody likes her however she has one friend(Mrs. Johnson) but her husband doesn't approve their friendship, so they meet and talk privately.
I will not reveal nothing more about the story. I believe that it is enough to open your appetite to read this book.
Main characters are:
- Lady Susan Vernon
- Frederica Vernon (Daughter of Lady Susan)
- Catherine Vernon (Sister-in-law to Lady Susan)
- Charles Vernon (Brother-in-law to Lady Susan)
- Reginald De Courcy (Brother of Mrs. Vernon)
- Lady De Courcy (Mother of Mrs. Vernon)
- Alicia Johnson (Friend of Lady Susan)
