このコンテンツについて

A sharp comedy of manners, and a fiendishly funny treat for Jane Austen and Whit Stillman fans alike.

Impossibly beautiful, disarmingly witty, and completely self-absorbed: Meet Lady Susan Vernon, both the heart and the thorn of Love & Friendship. Recently widowed with a daughter who's coming of age as quickly as their funds are dwindling, Lady Susan makes it her mission to find them wealthy husbands -- and fast.

But when her attempts to secure their futures result only in the wrath of a prominent conquest's wife and the title of 'most accomplished coquette in England', Lady Susan must rethink her strategy. Unannounced, she arrives at her brother-in-law's country estate. Here she intends to take refuge -- in no less than luxury, of course -- from the colorful rumors trailing her, while finding another avenue to 'I do'. Before the scandalizing gossip can run its course, though, romantic triangles ensue.

批評家のレビュー

PRAISE FOR LOVE & FRIENDSHIP: THE BOOK

"A postmodern confection [that's] very, very funny."--Penelope Green, New York Times

"In the ever-booming Austen spinoff industry, where paeans to Mr. Darcy are the norm, rewriting a work of the master's in the guise of one of her detractors makes for an eccentrically cheeky tribute."--Alexandra Schwartz, New Yorker

"A merry comedy of pride, prejudice, and duplicity.... Silly, sly, eccentric characters and brisk chatter make for a diverting romp."--Kirkus Reviews

"Lady Susan is finally getting some long overdue respect."--Alexandra Alter,New York Times

"Witty and delightful."--BookPage

"Both quirky and hilarious."--Publishers Weekly

"Lady Susan remains deliciously wicked."--Julia Felsenthal, Vogue

"[A] delicately sincere inversion of Austen's amused irony.... Stillman's gravity comes from the way he both understands the terrors of social relations--the pursuit of love and friendship--and also admires all strategies in artifice that might soften these terrors, subvert the tyranny of misinterpretation, and restore a version of utopia."--Adam Thirlwell, New York Review of Books

"Show[s] a deep familiarity with [Austen's] life, work, and times."--Laura Miller,Slate

"Wickedly funny."--Holly Parmalee, Serendipity

"Stillman has a fine eye for social niceties."--Library Journal, Editor's Pick

"If you like your Austen subversive, cruel, funny and outrageous, then you will love Stillman's Love & Friendship."--Paula Byrne, The Times (UK)

"One of the classiest book-to-movie novelizations that's ever existed."--Rebecca Pahle, Film Journal International
