From The Publisher:
'Love and Friendship' is a hilarious send-up of the novels of the 18th century. The story is told in the form of series of letters from the heroine, Laura, to Marianne, the daughter of her friend Isabel, relating the story of her turbulent life in her youth. Love and Friendship is extremely funny, and wonderfully parodies all the conventions of the popular fiction of the 18th century, elopements, long-lost relatives, heart breaks and dramatic deaths.
