This epistolary novel by Austen describes the plans of the protagonist, the widowed Lady Susan, while looking for a new husband and tries to marry off his 16-year-old daughter.
Its protagonist is a very attractive, intelligent and resourceful but selfish woman, who tries to catch the most suitable husband possible while maintaining a relationship with a married man.

normal peopleSally Rooney
Normal people is a story of mutual fascination, friendship and love between two people who can’t find each other, a reflection on the difficulty of changing who we are. Sally Rooney’s second novel accompanies two magnetic and complex protagonists for years, two young people who we come to understand even in their most notorious contradiction and in their most serious misunderstandings. This is a bittersweet story that shows how we are shaped by sex and power, the desire to hurt and be hurt, to love and be loved. Our relationships are a conversation over time. Our silences, what defines them.

all about loveBell Hooks
all about love offers radical new ways of thinking about love by showing its interconnectedness in our private and public lives. In eleven concise chapters, Hooks explains how our everyday notions of what it means to give and receive love often fail us, and how these ideals are established in early childhood. He offers a rethinking of self-love (without narcissism) that brings peace and compassion to our personal and professional lives, and champions the importance of love in ending struggles between individuals, communities, and societies. Moving from the cultural to the intimate, hooks explains the relationship between love and loss and challenges the prevailing notion that romantic love is the most important love of all. Also, hooks denounces the cultural paradigm that ideal love is infused with sex and desire and proposes a new path towards love that is fuller, more compassionate and free of shame.
