A review by bennysbooks
Lady Susan by Jane Austen

3.5

Delightfully horrid.

"I am tired of submitting my will to the Caprices of others - of resigning my own Judgement in deference to those, to whom I owe no Duty, and for whom I feel no respect..." 

...she means her daughter, her in-laws, her recently deceased husband, the wife of the man she was stringing along. Lady Susan would be the kind of person to share pithy wellness lines, completely divorced from context, to encourage her own bad behaviour. Austen had these women pegged before they could tell on themselves online.
