    About this ebook

    Had Jane Austen lived to complete Sanditon, it would have been as treasured as her other novels. In the half-finished masterpiece, Austen fashions one of her classic heroines—Charlotte Heywood. The surviving fragment also sets the story well on its path as Charlotte begins an adventure to Sanditon where a full cast of characters becomes intertwined in various intrigues.

    At first, Charlotte finds amusement enough standing at her ample Venetian window looking over the placid seafront. However, before long, Charlotte discovers that scandals abound. She becomes captivated by the romance of the seaside lifestyle. But is the town of Sanditon truly a haven and will Charlotte find happiness there?

    Now, fully completed by respected author and Austen expert Juliette Shapiro, this new edition of Sanditon finishes the original story in a vivid style recognizable to any fan. Shapiro’s prose and plot twists stay true to Austen’s sensibilities at all times while capturing her romance, tragedy, humor and sardonic wit.

    Jane Austen

    Jane Austen was born in 1775 in rural Hampshire, the daughter of an affluent village rector who encouraged her in her artistic pursuits. In novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma she developed her subtle analysis of contemporary life through depictions of the middle-classes in small towns. Her sharp wit and incisive portraits of ordinary people have given her novels enduring popularity. She died in 1817.

      This was another Austen work that, for me, missed the mark. There was not enough of the work to be expounded on and I felt that Shapiro did not handle the tale in a way that was appeasing or satisfying to me. Therefore, it was a short and uneventful read that left me feeling a little puzzled as to the purpose of this endeavour. 2 stars.

      I had long owned a copy of Austen's incomplete draft, and aty one point owned but mislaid a completion by someone else, so I have always wanted to read a completion and this was conveniently available. As yet I am only in the part Austen wrote, so I cannot judge how good the completion may be.
