<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Three of Austen's smaller works, worthy of reading for both pleasure and study: <i>Lady Susan, </i> in which a widow seeks an advantageous second marriage; and the unfinished novels <i>The Watsons</i> and <i>Sandition.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This volume presents three of Jane Austen's smaller works, treating readers to the author's timeless observations on life and love in nineteenth-century England. In <i>Lady Susan, </i> a beautiful and flirtatious widow seeks an advantageous second marriage for herself while attempting to push her daughter into a dismal match. Through a series of crafty maneuvers, Susan pursues her schemes by filling her calendar with invitations for extended visits with unsuspecting relatives and acquaintances. Characters are revealed and suspense builds as the plot unfolds through a series of letters. <br> The beloved author also left behind two tantalizing unfinished novels. <i>The Watsons </i> takes place in a familiar domestic milieu, in which a spirited heroine finds her marriage opportunities narrowed by poverty and pride. <i>Sanditon</i> ventures into new territory amid hypochondriacs and speculators at a seaside resort. More than literary curiosities, these stories are worthy of reading for pleasure as well as for study.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Rich with memorable characters from 19th-century English society and compelling themes of love and personal rivalries, the novels of Jane Austen (1775-1817) continue to enchant modern readers. One of literature's most celebrated women authors, Austen crafted stories remarkable in their psychological depth.
