Jane Austen Book Club: Lady Susan

Bookish Notions · Media, PA

The Jane Austen Book Club at Bookish Notions meets to discuss Austen's epistolary novella Lady Susan, a short early work about a scheming widow, with The Watsons discussion deferred to September.

A small group of Austen enthusiasts gathers in a cozy independent bookstore on a Sunday afternoon to dig into Lady Susan, one of Austen's lesser-known and earliest completed works. Expect a relaxed but engaged conversation about the novella's epistolary format, its delightfully unscrupulous anti-heroine, and how it compares to Austen's more famous novels. Attendees should come having read the short text beforehand and be ready for a thoughtful, fan-style discussion among fellow readers.

Bookish NotionsThis cozy independent bookstore on Media's State Street offers an intimate, welcoming setting for live events. Surrounded by carefully curated shelves of books and a warm, inclusive atmosphere fostered by friendly owners, it's a charming space where author talks and community gatherings feel personal and close-knit.
