Sanditon
by Jane Austen
This book of Jane Austen contains three short stories, were two of them are unfinished works by Austen.
Lady Susan
Lady Susan was quite interesting, and a very different heroine than the usual Austen ladies. Lady Susan was written in the form of letter entries, and for some reason it made it all the more dramatic. In the story we meet Lady Susan who is recently widowed, and is now on the hunt for a new husband. Lady Susan is very saucy and very scandalous, and very unabashed. It made me giggle while reading. She's not all sweet and funny though, and the writing style made the story captivating and dramatic. So I enjoyed this one!
Sanditon
This was SO short, I'm not even sure I can form an opinion on it.
Sanditon was a very short snippet of a story set in a seaside town.
Just as the story was begining, it ended. Now I can't wait to watch the mini series, to see what happened to the story.
The Watsons
In this short story we meet Emma Watson, who returns home after being fostered by her aunt for years. She is now back with a family that she doesn't really know.
This story seemed to have a lot of potential, just as Austen's full length novels. This was Austen's last piece before she passed away. I would've loved to see what would've become of the story.
I loved Lady Susan the most out of the three, but really wanted The Watsons to be longer. For the overall enjoyment of all three I probably end on 3.5 ⭐️
