Lady Susan
Lady Susan Vernon is newly widowed, short of money, and the most accomplished flirt in England. No longer welcome in the house where she has been staying, she invites herself to her brother-in-law's estate and promptly sets about charming her sister-in-law's young brother. Meanwhile she is determined to marry off her shy daughter, Frederica, to a rich and foolish suitor the girl can't stand.
Told entirely in letters, Austen's short early novel gives all the best lines to its villain, and it is wickedly funny. Whit Stillman filmed it in 2016 as Love & Friendship.
