Love and Friendship is one of the early works of Jane Austen and presents the misfortunes of a young woman and her husband, who listened only to the voice of their hearts and married hastily, without having the consent of the groom's father. In telling the story of the two, who fell in love at first sight, deciding to face the disapproval of the young man's relatives, especially his father and aunt, who aspired to a much better union for him, the writer uses the epistolary style. The novel is a collection of letters, most of them written by Laura, the heroin, and addressed to Marianne, the daughter of her best friend, Isabel.
