Sanditon
ByPublisher Description
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.Had Jane Austen lived to complete Sanditon, it would have been as treasured as her other novels.

“Juliette Shapiro is not Jane Austen, and I think Austen fans will be able to tell precisely at which point the original work ends. To me the "completion" felt clunky, focused on side characters and new characters without actual character development.
At the same time, I now want to read all of the varieties of Sanditon, even though I think I may not like them, either. I might just revisit some Austen favorites.”

“Of course, Jane Austen is a 5 ++++++. The part that's been added to her unfinished work, though, was so so. It did keep me reading. Not surprisingly, though, it just wasn't up to Austen's standard both plot and writing style-wise.”
