From the much-loved Jane Austen comes the satirical short novel, Love and Friendship. Written as a series of letters, Love and Friendship is a satire of the upper-class 18th century society that Austen loved to parody.
IsabelтАЩs daughter, Marianne, is naive, flighty and unaware of the first thing about love. Through apprising letters, her motherтАЩs friend, Laura, warns her of the dangers of sensibility and romance. But when Laura receives an unexpected proposal, it seems as though love might have its advantages after all. That is until the family learn about their hasty marriage and each member begins to reject Laura.
The plot is an amusing combination of unlikely coincidences, dramatic fainting fits and confusing twists and turns. Complete with the young writerтАЩs original spelling quirks, this short novel demonstrates AustenтАЩs natural talent and biting wit.
Proudly republished by White Press, this early work is an enlightening read for fans of Jane AustenтАЩs well-known classics.
