Jane Austen`s Charlotte

At her death, Jane Austen left behind part of a novel set in Sanditon, a town in Sussex, that began to tell the story of Charlotte Heywood, who comes to town as a guest of the Parkers, one of Sanditon`s grand families--a family that includes the dashing young Sidney, one of Charlotte`s suitors. Julia Barrett, who has written two Jane Austen sequels, tackles the manuscript and pairs off the various lovers, inserts a subplot about smugglers, and introduces a new character (a lady poet).
