Fragment of a novel written by Jane Austen, January-March 1817 : Now first…

"Fragment of a novel written by Jane Austen, January-March 1817" is an unfinished novel written in early 1817. The story follows Charlotte Heywood as she visits Sanditon, a small fishing village being transformed into a fashionable seaside resort. There she encounters an eccentric cast of characters: hypochondriac siblings, fortune-seeking relatives, a wealthy heiress, and the charming Sidney Parker. Austen completed only twelve chapters before illness forced her to stop writing, leaving readers to wonder about the romantic entanglements and social intrigues she had begun to weave.
