Lady Susan by Jane Austen

“There is exquisite pleasure in subduing an insolent spirit, in making a person pre-determined to dislike, acknowledge one's superiority."

I really enjoyed Lady Susan and reading the story through the use of letters. It gives us a lot of ideas of what is really going on inside the characters' head and how they feel about the whole situation. There's a bit (there's a lot, actually) of intrigue and gossip. Although, this work of Jane Austen is incomplete, it is worth the time and I just love Lady Susan, she may not be an ideal role model according to many people, but she really emphasizes on the folly of men and tries to convey the fact that if you are not in the need of money, you don't need to marry anyone, go on in life and try different men. And even if you don't like Lady Susan herself, you have to admire her ability to scheme!

Long story short (this story was actually just 45 pages long!), I loved this book, very unlike the usual heroine of Jane Austen!

READ THE BOOK!!!
