Summary

Written in the last months of Austen's life, "Sanditon" features a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and speculators in a newly-established seaside resort, and shows the author contemplating a changing society with scepticism and amusement. It tells the story of Charlotte Heywood, who is transported by a chance accident from her rural hometown to Sanditon, where she is exposed to the intrigues and dalliances of a small town determined to reinvent itself -- and encounters the intriguingly-handsome Sidney Parker. This edition also includes the early epistolary novel Lady Susan and the delightful fragment The Watsons
