Recently widowed with a daughter who's coming of age as quickly as their funds are dwindling, Lady Susan makes it her mission to find them wealthy husbands--and fast. But when her attempts to secure their futures result only in the wrath of a prominent conquest's wife and the title of 'most accomplished coquette in England', Lady Susan must rethink her strategy. Unannounced, she arrives at her brother-in-law's country estate. Here she intends to take refuge - in no less than luxury, of course - from the colorful rumors trailing her, while finding another avenue to 'I do'. Before the scandalizing gossip can run its course, though, romantic triangles ensue. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA SPECIAL EDITION FEATURING JANE AUSTEN'S ORIGINAL NOVELLA AS ANNOTATED BY THE NARRATOR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101931749616,"sku":"9780316294133","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780316294133_p0.jpg?v=1769916648","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780316294133","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
