Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Jane Austen's intentions for her Sanditonians can only be guessed at. Had she lived to complete 'Sanditon,' it would no doubt have been treasured alongside her other works. The mysteries of this often overlooked fragment still intrigue readers. This particular continuation sets out, with every hope of remaining faithful, to solve just some of them. Charlotte Heywood, recently arrived in the town of Sanditon, found amusement enough in standing at her ample Venetian window and looking over the miscellaneous foreground of unfinished buildings, waving linen and tops of houses, to the sea, dancing and sparkling in sunshine and freshness. But there is more to the promising little coastal resort than a pleasant atmosphere and the benefits of the sea and the sea air. Before long, Charlotte discovers that scandals abound. To the great delight of her eccentric host Mr. Parker, she becomes captivated by the romance of the sea-side lifestyle. So is Sanditon truly the haven that Mr. Parker likes to think it is, and will Charlotte Parker ever leave?

I read Sandition by Jane Austen and "Another Lady" and fell in love with the story so I had to read this book. It is well written and entertaining in it's own way but, in my opinion, does not have the same charm of the other version. One warning...this book does not include Jane Austen's original text - so it just begins where Jane Austen left off. I was glad that I had read the other version very first so I could follow the story line. So, if you buy this book make sure that you have a copy of Jane Austen's original writing or buy Sandition by Jane Austen and "Another Lady"... Enjoy!

Bravo! Well done! The author's witty and entertaining sense of humour comes through so well in the characterizations and descriptions throughout. Her style of expression is so like Jane Austen's! Prior to reading it, though, one must have already read the 11 chapter fragment that Jane Austen left behind since this book does not include that text. It picks up precisely where Jane Austen left off. Ms. Shapiro succeeds in remaining faithful to the expectations of Austen fans, and now can start gathering fans of her own!
