Jane austen novel susan6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() She seems to thrive on conflict and drama, placing herself in the center of many delicate battles, yet coming out mostly unscathed. While Susan’s bold personality makes her a unique attraction in her new home, it also means an endless negotiation for respectability, obedience, and a “good” marriage, none of which she is particularly concerned with. After her insolence gets her kicked out of a boarding school, it is decided that she will be sent away to become more “tractable.” Instead, she brings her unique brand of mischievous disruption to the sleepy countryside of Kent, subsequently lacing this tale with wit and splashes of dialogic brilliance. The novel delves into the untold story of one of Austen’s most original antagonists – Lady Susan – in her early years as a disruptive force. Honoring the original voice of characters more than two centuries old, and capturing the subtle tension and emotional complexity of youthful independence, this stylistic gem is an ambitious and memorable homage. Fans of Jane Austen and Victorian literature will be easily enraptured by Susan: A Jane Austen Prequel by Alice McVeigh. ![]()
