You Have A Very Soft Voice, Susan
his is not a typical story of Internet stalking. It is an unusual case of friendship and deception so pitiless and unyielding that it opened a door to Hell into the author's life. This is an unforgettable story for today's digital world driven by social media in all of its permutations and cruelest forms. The story begins with Susan Fensten's online search for her father's family, a search that soon turns into a two-year frightening odyssey of internet stalking and threats when a posting on a genealogy message board brings her into contact with what she thinks are distant cousins, but what turns out to be a sociopath. Through email correspondence with her new 'family,' evidence of mental illness, dark family secrets, a struggle over wealth and bizarre criminal histories emerge. She quickly becomes the focus of sexual obsession and suspicion, and her life is completely turned upside down. She soon becomes the target of dozens of frightening characters including real verifiable

Lady Susan
Lady Susan är en underhållande brevroman och ett av Jane Austens tidiga verk, skriven 1793 94, men utgiven postumt. I brev som skickas mellan romanens karaktärer får vi följa änkan Susan Vernons försök att skaffa både sig själv och sin dotter ett gott parti. Susan är inte bara bedövande vacker utan också intelligent och kvick. Men där slutar likheterna med den typiska hjältinnekaraktären. I breven tecknas ett porträtt av en självisk, hänsynslös och manipulativ kvinna som spelar ett cyniskt och slugt spel med männen i sin omgivning. Lady Susan sticker ut bland Jane Austens verk, bland annat i det att Susans omoraliska beteende inte straffas lika hårt som liknande handlingar gör i Austens övriga böcker. JANE AUSTEN (1775 1817) föddes i Hampshire som det sjunde barnet av åtta. Hennes pappa, som var kyrkoherde, uppmuntrade sina döttrar att läsa och Austen började tidigt skriva. Hennes första publicerade roman var Förnuft och känsla (originaltitel: Sense and sensibility) som gavs ut 1811. Austens romaner utspelar sig i den brittiska aristokratin och innehåller ofta undertoner av kritik mot överklassens sociala konventioner vilka hämmade främst kvinnor att finna kärlek och lycka. Austen dog av sjukdom i juli 1817.

Lady Susan
This is the original and unabridged text of Lady Susan by Jane Austen. The widowed Lady Susan seeks a new husband for herself and one for her daughter. Lady Susan is a selfish, unscrupulous and scheming woman, highly attractive to men, who tries to trap the best possible husband while maintaining a relationship with a married man. Lady Susan is a short novel which Austen never submitted for publication. Although the theme, together with the focus on character study and moral issues, is close to Austen's published work (Sense and Sensibility was also originally written in the epistolary form), its outlook is very different, and the heroine has few parallels in 19th-century literature.
