Lady Susan - Large Print Jane Austen

Now available in a 16pt Large Print book. Lady Susan is a collection of letters between the main characters. This novel is believed to have been written in 1794, but was not published until 1871 - more than 50 years after the author's death. Lady Susan Vernon, a beautiful and charming recent widow, visits her brother- and sister-in-law, Charles and Catherine Vernon, with little advance notice. Catherine is far from pleased. Among Lady Susan's conquests is the married Mr. Manwaring. Catherine's brother Reginald arrives a week later, and despite Catherine's strong warnings about Lady Susan's character, soon falls under her spell. Lady Susan toys with the younger man's affections for her own amusement and later because she perceives it makes her sister-in-law uneasy, but Lady Susan considers him to be greatly inferior to Manwaring.
