I think this book , which I have tried to read over and over, sort of stopped me from completing the rest of Jane's work. This book was not very great, sometimes Jane Austen can write good, yet sometimes the writing can be dull and its difficult to get into. I found this dull. Took a while to get into the epistolary format, and to be able to tell the difference between all of the characters. I was also simultaneously remembering the movie Love and Friendship, which is an adaptation of this book despite it being named after another Austen work, so that occupied a fair bit of mental real estate as well. I might want to watch the movie again, then try the book again. Lady is a character for sure. Mi primer libro de Jane Austen y creo que la elección fue acertada. Disfruto muchísimo las novelas epistolares y eso en conjunto con el tono general de este drama, porque es un drama de esos que solo uno se entera en las reuniones con mujeres adeptas al buen chisme, y lo calculadora de la titular protagonista hizo que esta lectura se pasara volando. Es una novela corta pero absolutamente deliciosa. no reviews | add a review

Meanwhile she tries to get a suitable marriage for herself whilst trying to get her daughter off her hands by making whatever marriage agreement will suit.
Even more scandal erupts when her sister in law's brother appears and decides he is in love with her, despite the rumours.
Soon however, Susan is back in Town and through various schemes married and her daughter off her hands.
Interesting way of writing a short book, which I believe was one of the first Austen wrote, but never submitted for publication. The main character is entirely mercenary, never out for romantic love either for herself or her friends. She's only out for a suitable marriage and will be entirely two faced to get what she wants. Cant think of another character like her. (
