“Lady Susan” By Jane Austen Review

Beautiful, flirtatious, and recently widowed, Lady Susan Vernon seeks an advantageous second marriage for herself, while attempting to push her daughter into a dismal match. A magnificently crafted novel of Regency manners and mores that will delight Austen enthusiasts with its wit and elegant expression.

I need to be honest and say that I’m not a Jane Austen fan, of course I thought that this book is okay but nothing more than that.

This book is a mix between historical fiction and romance. I was a fan of the historical fiction part in this book but the old time romances aren’t for me because 100% of the time I just hate them. 

The plot here was okay for the most part. The historical fiction part of this book was super interesting but the romance part had dragged it down a lot for me personally.

The main character here which of course is Lady Susan is a manipulative, hypocritical, a liar and sort of a bitch. But overall Ive liked here for some strange reason, because in real life I would hate her. The rest of the characters in this book were okay for the most part. There were some characters in this book which I didn’t like but for the most part I liked the majority of the characters in this book.

To be fully honest this book feels unfinished in a way. And it lacks bit of polish to it in my opinion. 

This book also contains a lot of letters send between the characters in this book, and they all contains the events and action happening in Lady Susan’s life. 

I Give This Book 3 / 5
