Questo breve romanzo epistolare fu pubblicato postumo nel 1871, ma si suppone che sia stato scritto presumibilmente nel 1794. Certamente si ritrovano tutti i temi e i colori dell'autrice: l'ironia per le ipocrisie dei formalismi della società la lotta contro i matrimoni d'interesse, e il sarcasmo contro le donne manipolatrici e fredde di cuore. Lo stile inconfondibile della scrittrice, quieto, ironico fino a rasentare il cinismo, di una lucidità geniale nell'osservazione del suo piccolo mondo, rende questo breve romanzo un piccolo gioiello, per gli estimatori dei suoi romanzi.
