Sandition

Set against the backdrop of the Sussex coast, the narrative begins with a gentleman and a lady whose journey takes a perilous turn when their carriage is overturned on a rough lane. The incident occurs near a gentleman's house that their driver reluctantly bypasses, hinting at underlying tensions. Jane Austen commenced this unfinished novel in January 1817, originally titled The Brothers, completing only eleven chapters before halting due to her declining health. The story promises a blend of wit and social commentary typical of Austen's works.
