A perfect match! An ensemble piece! A delight! This short, 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, and suspense builds–all through the device of letters exchanged amongst Lady Susan, her family, friends, and enemies.

A different actor, eliminating the potential for confusion and making this a lively and dramatic listening experience, performs each letter writer. Flute, clarinet, and piano add an elegant touch, enhancing the flavor of time and place

The music bridges tracks and I have cut the tracks to end with the music so you can skip to the next track if you don’t want to listen.
