Riassunto

Written in a series of letters to the daughter of a friend, Love and Friendship tells of a young girl&;s path to betrayal, by way of a seemingly ecstatic marriage. It is accompanied by The Three Sisters, another expertly crafted epistolary novel. When a noble youth arrives unannounced to request the hand of the matchless Laura, it seems their future is one of contentment and bliss&;that is until his family learn of the marriage and, one by one, reject the new bride. Such begins the series of unspeakable events that make up Laura&;s lot in life. But tragedy and comedy here go hand in hand as Austen delivers a stringent satire on drawing-room society, brilliantly heralding her later masterpieces.
