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.

well narrated throughout. Good Austen style ending to an unfinished book. I love to get lost in the world of Sanditon

Delightful

I'm happy I listened to it but I wouldn't revisit it. Although the new author does her best to finish Austen's work, it just doesn't seem to work.

Had potential

Enjoyed the story, although most of it was not written by Jane Austin, it was easy to believe that it could have been.
However the narration was very laboured at times & difficult to work out which character was speaking when not fully concentrating. There were times when it seemed like the narrator was about to stop mid sentence!

Good story poor narration

Shapiro's additional text is not very good. The splice between Austen's halt, and the new text, is glaringly obvious. Character paths that have been carefully set up, in Austen's usually careful style, awaiting their main roles in the book, get sent off to Eastbourne when Shapero takes over! She has copied whole phrases out of Austen's other books, to the point of cheeseyness! the first 11 chapters I thoroughly enjoyed (Austen) then it cascades rapidly down hill.....

Disappointed

The conclusion to Austins story by Shaprio lacks any novelty if thought and instead smashes together elements of Pride and prejudice and Persuasion. The result is utterly meh. The only saving grace is that at least in this version (unlike the horrific ITV Version) charlot does at least get her happy ending.

Eek!
