Jane Austen's funniest novel is also her least known - until now.

Impossibly beautiful, disarmingly witty, and completely self-absorbed: meet Lady Susan Vernon.

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.

She arrives at her brother-in-law's country estate, where she intends to take refuge from the colourful rumours trailing her, while finding another avenue to 'I do'.

Filmmaker and writer Whit Stillman cleverly re-imagines and completes one of our greatest writers' unfinished works. Love & Friendship is a sharp comedy of manners, and a fiendishly funny treat for Austen and Stillman fans alike.

Also includes the full text of Jane Austen's Lady Susan annotated by the narrator.
