Brinshore

The Watson Novels

'What in the name of common sense is to recommend Brinshore? A most insalubrious air, roads proverbially detestable, water brackish beyond example, impossible to get a good dish of tea within three miles of the place, and as for the soil, it is so cold that it can hardly be made to yield a cabbage...' Sanditon, Jane Austen Brinshore, the second novel in the Watson Trilogy, opens in the year 1816. Miss Osborne and Miss Musgrave will spend the summer in this little known paradise, which rivals Sanditon, on the south coast of England. Inspired by Jane Austen's novel fragments, Sanditon and The Watsons, Brinshore sees the return of characters from Emma and Elizabeth, and introduces some new characters too.
