- The Seventh Novel Jane Austen never wrote Speculation is a love story, in which outspoken Susan, and her friend Isabella challenge Regency marriage conventions. Her fortune depleted by her brother’s gaming, Susan has no intention of marrying the vain wastrel chosen to be her husband. Instead she falls in love with Isabella’s cousin, Mr Jarvis. No idle landowner, he is a speculator (venture capitalist) whose latest scheme is a sugar plantation to be worked for pay by former slaves. They seem made for each other. But he's married, at a time when full divorce requires an Act of Parliament. Isabella’s £100,000 fortune is the target of every idle bounder, despite her being the daughter of a plantation owner and a former slave. With Susan’s approval, she dismisses them all. But unwisely, she plans instead to elope with the vain wastrel. Can Susan rescue her friend from folly, and marry the man she loves?
