Sanditon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419146060)

Sanditon is an unfinished novel by Jane Austen, which follows the story of Charlotte Heywood, a young and naive woman who is invited to stay with the Parker family in the seaside town of Sanditon. The Parkers are trying to turn Sanditon into a fashionable resort, and Charlotte becomes embroiled in their efforts to attract wealthy visitors and investors.As Charlotte explores Sanditon and its inhabitants, she encounters a variety of characters, including the charming but unreliable Sidney Parker, the wealthy and eccentric Lady Denham, and the ambitious and scheming Clara Brereton. Along the way, she learns about the politics and social dynamics of the town, and begins to understand the complexities of human relationships and motivations.Despite being unfinished, Sanditon showcases Austen's wit, humor, and insight into human nature. The novel is notable for its exploration of social and economic change in early 19th century England, and its portrayal of a seaside town on the cusp of transformation. Austen's unique style and ability to create memorable characters make Sanditon a must-read for fans of classic literature.""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.
