About this ebook

Jane Austen's Last, Unfinished Novel

“I am no indiscriminate novel reader. The mere trash of the common circulating library I hold in the highest contempt.” ― Jane Austen, Sanditon

Set in 19th century England, Jane Austen's last novel was completed by another author after her death. While it is still debated whether Sanditon was simply a first draft or marked a shift in Austen's writing style, the story of the daily lives of a cast of characters living in Sanditon makes for a lively read for Jane Austen fans.

Ratings and reviews

The storyline was buried somewhere in the antiquated lexicon and the fact the story was unfinished. It never felt like it was building up, so that you'd want more. Difficult to get into a flow when I had to look up several words each page. This disruption left no clear storyline to follow. To be fair, I've not once read a Jane Austen novel, and this may just be her style. I was hoping for strong character development so I could paint a plausible ending myself.
