Plot Summary of Sanditon
"Love, love, love. Jane Austen died before she finished this, her last book. It was completed by an australian author in a way that those who love Jane would approve. The book is published under the title "Sanditon", but is out of print. If you love Jane find it and enjoy!."
Pat Baines, Resident Scholar
