DID NOT FINISH: 75%

Read 3/4 of the book, but didn't finish. Parts of the book are very witty, but it gets very old. A portion of the chapters are available in audiobook format and those were better. I just couldn't get through the whole book and gave up.

I hadn’t read any of Austen’s juvenalia except for Lady Susan before picking up this gem. It’s surprisingly delightful! You can see the beginnings of the incredible author she was working on becoming, but her sense of humor had yet to hone itself to the razor-sharp wit for which she is known. I had so much fun reading this!

Austen har fra barnsben været en vittig forfatter. Elsker, at man især i 'Catharine' kan se, hvordan Frances Burney har inspireret hende. Det er ufatteligt, at Austen skrev 'Lady Susan' som teenager. Mundlam.
