My favourite character was Lady Denham, a twice widowed seventy-year old whose heirs are clamouring for her favour, and who is actually mean with money. Parker's passion is the seaside resort of Sanditon, and he invites Charlotte to return with them - and so her adventure begins. and Mrs Parker meeting with the heroine, twenty-two year old Charlotte Heywood and her family.

The story starts with a carriage being overturned on the road, and it's inhabitants, Mr.

It's set in a seaside town, her characters are a different sort of circle than in her previous books, and it feels more modern. But different! It's set later, after the battle of Waterloo, and it's peacetime. Jane Austen had begun work on the novel during the months before her death, but had she ever finished it, I honestly think it would've been as good as her others. I wanted to keep reading - we'd just had a taster of the primary characters and only heard about others. An unfinished story is always going to be annoying, but this was really annoying. I hope you will enjoy exploring with me my ideas about how Jane Austen’s unfinished final novel might reach its required HEA conclusion and my insight into the beauty and frustration of Andrew Davies’ unfinished Sanditon as well.I picked up a copy of Sanditon, to read the original - or what there is of it - and it was actually really good. Since completing my Sanditon Season 2, I have also written a critique or an analysis of many of the scenes in Andrew Davies’ Sanditon Season 1 most of which are included here as well. There are hopes a second season will follow with the same cast but the beauty of the story, the chemistry of the cast and the unsatisfactory ending stimulated me to write my own Season 2 to finish Jane Austen’s story in a way I believe she would have, with a Happy Ever After ending! The short chapters were written in a step outline format which can be turned into a screenplay for a eight Episode Season 2. It was cancelled after one season and left many with a very unsatisfactory cliffhanger, again leaving the world with an unfinished Sanditon story as Jane Austen left it with her untimely death. Jane Austen began writing her last Novel, Sanditon, in 1817, wrote 12 Chapters and then put it aside and with her death the same year, never finished it! There have been several efforts to finish it satisfactorily but, well, no one is Jane Austen! The latest effort was a 2019 series production for television led by Andrew Davies.
