Finished: Lady Susan (Austen). I couldn't resist another Jane Austen. :-) A lively story told in 41 chapters, all written as letters by the characters of the book, to and from each other. Lady Susan is a detestable widow who treats her daughter horribly, and flirts with younger men in hopes of attracting them for either herself, or her daughter....but mostly herself! She's all sugar and spice, of course, to the gentlemen in person, but then writes these scathing letters about them to her best friend, the only person who knows her true intentions. Happily, the truth wins out in the end and her duplicity is uncovered. :-)
Now...more Jane Austen or back to my list of authors??
