The Encyclopedia of Secret Knowledge by Charles Walker
Lady Susan, a young widow, flees London and arrives at the country home of her obliging brother-in-law and his suspicious wife. Soon to come - uninvited - are an eligible suitor, her willful daughter, her chatty confidante and a dimwitted bachelor. Lady Susan schemes, but all does not go according to plan as she and her daughter become rivals for the same man.
Rob Urbinati's Lady Susan captures the essence of Jane Austen's story, as well as her humor. Today's women can easily understand that Lady Susan 'seduces and schemes' because she has no options - she cannot get a job or own property. The plight of a penniless widow trying to make a life for herself and her daughter is effectively conveyed with sympathy and biting wit. I enjoyed Jane Austen's Lady Susan very much - Carolyn Jack, The Jane Austen Society of North America
