About this listen
Maryanne is a governess to two children, Mindy and Tracey. Their mother is not a hands-on parent so Maryanne has been as much of a mother as a governess. On a very stormy night the mother is killed in an accident. Because of the many debts incurred by Mrs. Turner there is no money left, including the children’s inheritance, so the house and all the furnishings have to be auctioned off to poay those debts. Robert, the long exiled brother of Mr. Turner, who was killed in a drowning accident some years before, shows up wanting to make amends with his brother. He discovers that he’s an uncle and he asks Maryanne if she will marry him and travel to Kansas with him and the children. She refuses, at first, but when certain things come to be known she changes her mind.

As far as Fitzwilliam Darcy is concerned, the only good thing to come of Elizabeth Bennet’s bitter refusal of his heart and his hand was his new resolve to prove himself a better man. He’d done it, too, by closing the painful distance between himself and his estranged younger brother, Drew. And now Drew is newly engaged to be married…to Elizabeth Bennet. Family duty forces Darcy to support the engagement, especially since even the smallest hint of disapproval could ruin the brothers’ hard-won reconciliation. But how can he bear to watch his brother marry the woman he loves?

Story
Written in the then fashionable style form of letters between the characters in the book, Jane Austen tells the story of the beautiful widow Lady Susan. Lady Susan has an eye toward re-marrying well, and marrying off her teenage daughter. To achieve her objectives, she spins a tale of Victorian humor and manipulation. In the end, she outsmarts even herself. Jane Austen's earliest known serious work, Lady Susan is a short, epistolary novel that portrays a woman bent on the exercise of her own powerful mind and personality to the point of social self-destruction.
