Sanditon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162682990)

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.
