1000 tulosta hakusanalla Susan Cheever
A must-read for any devotee of Jane Austen, Janet Todd’s 'naughty-Austen' reimagining of the epistolary novel Lady Susan will capture your literary imagination and get your heart racing.Austen’s only anti-heroine, Lady Susan, is a beautiful, charming widow who has found herself, after the death of her husband, in a position of financial instability and saddled with an unmarried, clumsy and over-sensitive daughter. Faced with the unpalatable prospect of having to spend her widowed life in the countryside, Lady Susan embarks on a serious of manipulative games to ensure she can stay in town with her first passion — the card tables. Scandal inevitably ensues as she negotiates the politics of her late husband’s family, the identity of a mysterious benefactor and a passionate affair with a married man.Accurate and true to Jane Austen’s style, as befits Todd’s position as a leading Austen scholar, this second coming of Lady Susan is as shocking, manipulative and hilarious as when Jane Austen first imagined her.
On Susan Glaspell's Trifles and "A Jury of Her Peers"

On a wharf in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where Greenwich Village bohemians gathered in the summer of 1916, Susan Glaspell was inspired by a sensational murder trial to write Trifles, a play about two women who hide a Midwestern farm wife's motive for murdering her abusive husband. Following successful productions of the play, Glaspell became the "mother of American drama." Her short story version of Trifles, "A Jury of Her Peers," reached an unprecedented one million readers in 1917. The play and the story have since been taught in classrooms across America and Trifles is regularly revived on stages around the world. This collection of fresh essays celebrates the centennial of Trifles and "A Jury of Her Peers," with departures from established Glaspell scholarship. Interviews with theater people are included along with two original works inspired by Glaspell's iconic writings.

Her mom disappeared. Her siblings are dead. And a dangerous djinn is demanding payment for an unholy bargain.

When Susan's friends narrowly survive a vicious attack, she learns the truth: the alternate Susan committed an abominable crime and left this Susan holding the bag. Now she has to locate her missing mother, dodge sleazy-hot men seeking favors, and open a portal to escape home again ... all before the djinn collects payment for his wishes, which were never free. Can Susan escape the lethal pledge made by the alternate Susan? Alternate Susan is book one in an excitingly original trilogy by the author of the Kit Melbourne Series.
