With handsome rich men and ladies of leisure fluttering their eyelids trying to catch their attention, \'The Three Sisters\' reads like a humorous trial run for \'Pride and Prejudice\'. Told via correspondence, this is in fact a tale of a single man, Mr. Watts, who is in possession of a good fortune and is in want of a wife. Mrs. Stanhope is the mother of a family of girls who is very much in want of a son-in-law. And the girls? Despite one of them being \"the happiest creature on the planet\", they aren\'t actually all that happy at all. This satirical narrative of courtship and self-interest by the young Jane Austen is a must for any fan of the modern Chick-Lit novel or Rom-Com film. As an extra treat, this edition includes four additional writings from Jane Austen, making this essential reading for any Austen fan or study.These additional pieces• A Fragment written to inculcate the practice of Virtue• A beautiful description of the different effects of sensibility on different minds• The Generous Curate.• Ode to Pity
