Sanditon was Jane Austen’s last novel – the first 11 chapters completed before her death in the summer of 1817, and the book, unfinished, bequeathed to her niece. Over a century later, Marie Dobbs, born in Australia in 1924, finished the book in the 19—-s. And I must say – she finished it with Jane’s rather wicked sense of humor, and some outright laugh out loud pages. What a treat!
