Told through letters, "Love and Friendship" follows Laura and Sophia's whirlwind of improbable romances, disasters, and dramatic mishaps, as Austen playfully satirises the excesses of sentimental novels and youthful folly.Another unfinished novel, "The Watsons", follows Emma Watson, the youngest daughter of a poor clergyman who was raised by a wealthy aunt.
