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,
