    "description": "<p><strong>Cult-filmmaker Whit Stillman cleverly re-imagines Jane Austen's unfinished early novella&nbsp;<em>Lady Susan.</em></strong><span>&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span>Jane Austen's funniest novel is also her least known-until now. A sharp comedy of manners set in the 1790s, LOVE &amp; FRIENDSHIP centers on Lady Susan Vernon: impossibly beautiful, charming, witty, and completely self-absorbed. Recently widowed, Lady Susan arrives, unannounced, at her brother-in-law's estate to wait out colorful rumors about her dalliances circulating through polite society. While there, she becomes determined to secure a new husband for herself, and one for her reluctant debutante daughter, Frederica, too. As Lady Susan embarks on a controversial relationship with a married man, seduction, deception, broken hearts, and gossip all ensue. With a pitch-perfect Austenian sensibility, Stillman breathes new life into Austen's work, making it his own by adding original narration from a character comically loyal to the story's fiendishly manipulative heroine, Lady Susan.</span></p>",
