<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Out of print for more than 20 years, this novel--an 11-chapter fragment at Austen's death completed with seamless artistry by an Austen aficionado and novelist--is a wonderful addition to Austen's beloved books.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Jane Austen's last work, now a PBS limited series adapted by acclaimed screenwriter Andrew Davies.</b> <p/>Sanditon--an eleven-chapter fragment left at Jane Austen's death completed by an Austen devotee and novelist-- is a charming addition to Austen's novels on England's privileged classes and the deception, snobbery, and unexpected romances that occur in their world. When Charlotte Heywood accepts an invitation to visit the newly fashionable seaside resort of Sanditon, she is introduced to a full range of polite society, from reigning local dowager Lady Denham to her impoverished ward Clara, and from the handsome, feckless Sidney Parker to his amusing, if hypochondriac, sisters. A heroine whose clear-sighted commens sense is often at war with romance, Charlotte cannot help observing around her both folly and passion in many guises. But can the levelheaded Charlotte herself resist the desires of the heart?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"'Another Lady' has completed the book with considerable skill...well worth reading."-- "Financial Times (London)"<br><br>"A delicious heroine who combines beauty, intelligence, candor, and common sense...exuberantly successful."-- "The New Yorker"<br><br>"A faithful and imaginative collaboration...Austen herself would have chuckled at some of the turns in the plot."--Gail Godwin "Chicago Tribune Book World"<br><br>"Lovely...when you read this book, you are not entering a novel, you are entering a world."-- "The Boston Globe"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels<i>--Sense and Sensibility</i>, <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>, <i>Mansfield Park</i>, <i>Emma, </i> <i>Northanger Abbey</i>, and <i>Persuasion</i>--which observe and critique the British gentry of the late eighteenth century.
