Sanditon
Paperback - English

Sanditon is an unfinished novel by Jane Austen, which was completed by another author after her death. The story follows Charlotte Heywood, a young woman who is invited to stay with the Parker family in the seaside town of Sanditon. Charlotte soon becomes acquainted with the eccentric inhabitants of the town, including the wealthy Mr. Parker and his hypochondriac sisters, as well as the charming Sidney Parker. As Charlotte navigates the social dynamics of Sanditon, she becomes embroiled in various romantic entanglements and learns about the town's plans for development and expansion. The novel is notable for its satirical commentary on the emerging seaside resort culture of the early 19th century and its exploration of themes such as social class, gender roles, and the pursuit of wealth and status. Despite its incomplete status, Sanditon remains a beloved work of Austen's and a fascinating glimpse into her creative process.""AND WHOSE very snug-looking place is this?"" said Charlotte as, in a sheltered dip within two miles of the sea, they passed close by a moderate-sized house, well fenced and planted, and rich in the garden, orchard and meadows which are the best embellishments of such a dwelling. ""It seems to have as many comforts about it as Willingden.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About Author
Though the domain of Jane Austen-s novels was as circumscribed as her life, her caustic wit and keen observation made her the equal of the greatest novelists in any language. Born the seventh child of the rector of Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, she was educated mainly at home. At an early age she began writing sketches and satires of popular novels for her family-s entertainment. As a clergyman-s daughter from a well-connected family, she had an ample opportunity to study the habits of the middle class, the gentry, and the aristocracy. At twenty-one, she began a novel called "The
