Sanditon

Since the story was left incomplete, I wonder how much of the original outline Austen had in mind. Do readers feel the fragment still captures her style and themes?

Austen’s keen eye for social manners shines through, but I’m curious if others saw a sharper critique lurking beneath the wit.

The setting feels so alive and specific — I wonder if Austen drew from real places or her own observations of seaside towns evolving in the early 19th century.
