Lady Susan, The Watsons and Sanditon - Jane Austen (May 28, 2008)
A collection of short and unfinished Jane Austen stories. The first, Lady Susan, is an epistolary novel about a woman chasing men for their money. The two unfinished works show Austen's wicked sense of humour and great knack for describing people succinctly and a little cruelly. After university I was foolish enough to read a novel called Sanditon, another novelist had taken up the challenge of finishing Austen's novel. I could tell exactly where Jane left off and the other writer began. It's better unfinished!
For completists and fans of Jane Austen mostly. Enjoyable.
