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.

Sanditon: Jane Austen's Unfinished Masterpiece Completed
One always hopes that these attempts will be intelligently done, but in this case, the "co-author" rumble up Jane Austen with Jane Eyre and forgot to read her primer on Regency romances. The cross should be amber NOT topaz. Austen never spoke of women as become "animal[s:] from childbearing"; her characters were too solidly middle class to be brought down so violently. She never spoke of her characters as "gushing"; she demonstrated it in their flow of words. Anachronisms abound. The plot line is not straight-forward and Austen-like. I despair to say more.
