- Este audiolibro está narrado en Español neutral.Lady Susan es una novela de intrigas y enredos donde la trama se va develando a raíz del intercambio de cartas entre los diferentes personajes. La historia gira en torno a lady Susan Vernon, una hermosa e inteligente mujer, pero también manipuladora y egoísta. Sus planes no sólo incluyen un nuevo casamiento ventajoso para ella misma; sino que también pretende casar a su hija de dieciséis años con el adinerado Sir James, hombre al que la joven detesta. Así, a través de ingeniosos manejos, Lady Susan hará todo lo que está a su alcance para lograrlo sin importarle las opiniones ni los deseos de quienes la rodean, ya sea su hija, su familia o su círculo social.En esta historia, Jane Austen logra realizar con maestría, un retrato moral de la época, describiendo a la burguesía rural británica con gran nitidez. Así, Lady Susan representa la antiheroína quien, con ingenio, hipocresía y táctica, busca activamente concretar dos matrimonios ventajosos. En la actualidad, la película Amor y Amistad (2016) con Kate Beckinsale se basa en esta historia.

      A perfect match! An ensemble piece! A delight! This lesser known Austen novel follows the subterfuge of the recently widowed, beautiful, and flirtatious Lady Susan who attempts to secure a good marriage for herself at the same time that she is forcing a dismal match onto her long suffering daughter. Character is revealed, plot unfolds, suspense builds--all through the device of letters exchanged amongst Lady Susan, her family, friends, and enemies. Each letter writer is performed by a different actor, eliminating the potential for confusion and making this a lively and dramatic listening experience. Flute, clarinet, and piano add an elegant touch, enhancing the flavor of time and place. E.S. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
