What this book is about

Austen's incomplete last novel (surviving in only 11 chapters) introduces an entirely new cast. Charlotte Heywood navigates the comic chaos of Sanditon, a speculative seaside resort. The same sharp social wit as all Austen. The novel breaks off before its probable conclusion but is charming throughout. Appropriate for all ages.
