This is the Jane Austen book that no one has ever heard of-and with good reason, since it's not as good as the others.It's also told entirely in letters, which is occasionally tedious. But a not-as-good Austen is still better than a lot of writers' best. And the main character/villain is all kinds of nuts, which I always enjoy.
So at the end of my Austen section, I have just this to say: You win, Jane. I will never doubt again.
Author: Jane Austen
Objectionable content: I cannot stress enough how completely batty Lady Susan is. But it's Jane Austen battiness, so it's still genteel.
