I actually really enjoyed that! I tried watching Love & Friendship once when it first came out but barely made it through the first few minutes because the production and story are so different from that of Austen's other works and adaptations. I suddenly felt the urge to give this another try five years later...and find myself very impressed! Lady Susan is SO bad (take that as either a complement or a criticism) but her character and counterparts made this a very intriguing play of manipulation. I've read Lady Susan once before, albeit without much comprehension since I wasn't very interested at the time, but now I'm quite excited to delve back into the epistolary novella — hopefully with a more appreciative mind this time around. Additionally, I find it interesting that they gave this adaptation of Lady Susan the title of Love & Friendship because Jane Austen actually has written another story called Love and Friendship.
