Sanditon (Paperback)

Jane Austen`s minor unfinished novel, SANDITON, is worth reading for its satirical look at pomposity, hypocrisy, and the intricacies of courtship in early 19th-century England. Austen was writing this novel during her last months, when she was seriously ill with Addison`s disease; an odd but endearing characteristic of SANDITON is her satirical treatment of hypochondria.
