Sanditon

De: Jane Austen, Kate Riordan

Narrado por: Alexandra Roach

In the vein of Downton Abbey, Jane Austen's beloved but unfinished masterpiece--often considered her most modern and exciting novel--gets a spectacular second act in this tie-in to a major new limited television series.

Written only months before Austen's death in 1817, Sanditon tells the story of the joyously impulsive, spirited and unconventional Charlotte Heywood and her spiky relationship with the humorous, charming (and slightly wild!) Sidney Parker. When a chance accident transports her from her rural hometown of Willingden to the would-be coastal resort of the eponymous title, it exposes Charlotte to the intrigues and dalliances of a seaside town on the make, and the characters whose fortunes depend on its commercial success. The twists and turns of the plot, which takes viewers from the West Indies to the rotting alleys of London, exposes the hidden agendas of each character and sees Charlotte discover herself... and ultimately find love.

Not a Jane Austin ending.

I believe Charlotte's friend Susan would have helped in the end. no need for Mrs. C.

Gut Wrenching

Not the kind of ending I like to see... how dreadfully sad. Real life is hard.

A very moving love story!

I loved the narrator, she did a wonderful job! The book was very good, I enjoyed it! But it was not the way I wanted it to end! I watched the movie as well, and loved seeing the characters come to life!

WORST ENDING *spoilers*

I think Jane Austen would have hated the ending. Jane Austen always wanted her characters to have a happy ending unlike her own love story, so the fact that they didn’t end up together was gut wrenching. I hope the BBC series doesn’t end the same way.

a must read

Loved this story, who knew Jane had this much spunk in her. I was sad it ended, I wanted it to go on another 5 chapters or more.
