THE WATSONS, LADY SUSAN & SANDITON

In three of her lesser-known works, Jane Austen created some of her most imaginative stories. In The Watsons, an unfinished novel, the heroine Emma Watson is forced to live in a world defined by social decorum, ambition and finding the right match. In Lady Susan, Jane Austen experiments with the epistolary novel as she tells the tale of a widow taking advantage of her newly single status while trying to manage the affairs of her marriageable daughter. In the unfinished novel Sanditon, Charlotte Heywood meets a businessman hoping to turn the small town of Sanditon into a thriving seaside resort. In these brilliant stories, Jane Austen once again demonstrates her and ability to weave a tale and create characters like no other.
