and essays from the world's greatest writers designed by the award-winning Coralie

foil. Recently widowed the unscrupulous and beautiful Lady Susan Vernon is determined to
scheme her way through high society in the hope of a profitable new match - all while trying to
marry off her unfortunate daughter. Told through a series of letters Jane Austen's magnificent

perfection of her taste' - Virginia Woolf
