Finally! I've been meaning to read this short work by Jane Austen for years, and now I have! It's quite quick and utterly fun. Lady Susan is older and more wicked than the typical Austen heroine -- conniving, manipulative, and scandalous, she looks out for herself to get what she wants. I hadn't really been aware of the content of this book until I saw the marvelous movie version, "Love and Friendship", earlier this year. The book and the movie go so well together. I recommend checking out both!
