A sharp comedy of manners, and a fiendishly funny treat for Jane Austen and Whit Stillman fans alike.

Impossibly beautiful, disarmingly witty, and completely self-absorbed: Meet Lady Susan Vernon, both the heart and the thorn of Love & Friendship. 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.

Recensioni della critica

PRAISE FOR LOVE & FRIENDSHIP: THE BOOK

"A postmodern confection [that's] very, very funny."--Penelope Green, New York Times

"In the ever-booming Austen spinoff industry, where paeans to Mr. Darcy are the norm, rewriting a work of the master's in the guise of one of her detractors makes for an eccentrically cheeky tribute."--Alexandra Schwartz, New Yorker

"A merry comedy of pride, prejudice, and duplicity.... Silly, sly, eccentric characters and brisk chatter make for a diverting romp."--Kirkus Reviews

"Lady Susan is finally getting some long overdue respect."--Alexandra Alter,New York Times

"Witty and delightful."--BookPage

"Both quirky and hilarious."--Publishers Weekly

"Lady Susan remains deliciously wicked."--Julia Felsenthal, Vogue

"[A] delicately sincere inversion of Austen's amused irony.... Stillman's gravity comes from the way he both understands the terrors of social relations--the pursuit of love and friendship--and also admires all strategies in artifice that might soften these terrors, subvert the tyranny of misinterpretation, and restore a version of utopia."--Adam Thirlwell, New York Review of Books

"Show[s] a deep familiarity with [Austen's] life, work, and times."--Laura Miller,Slate

"Wickedly funny."--Holly Parmalee, Serendipity

"Stillman has a fine eye for social niceties."--Library Journal, Editor's Pick

"If you like your Austen subversive, cruel, funny and outrageous, then you will love Stillman's Love & Friendship."--Paula Byrne, The Times (UK)

"One of the classiest book-to-movie novelizations that's ever existed."--Rebecca Pahle, Film Journal International
