Do be aware that this review will contain spoilers.Ĭharlotte Heywood is a sensible young woman of twenty-two, the eldest child in a family of fourteen children. The twists and turns of the plot, which takes viewers from the West Indies to the rotting alleys of London, exposes the hidden agendas of each character and sees Charlotte discover herself. When a chance accident transports her from her rural hometown of Willingden to the would-be coastal resort of the eponymous title, it exposes Charlotte to the intrigues and dalliances of a seaside town on the make, and the characters whose fortunes depend on its commercial success. Written only months before Austen's death in 1817, Sanditon tells the story of the joyously impulsive, spirited and unconventional Charlotte Heywood and her spiky relationship with the humorous, charming (and slightly wild!) Sidney Parker. HTML: In the vein of Downton Abbey, Jane Austen's beloved but unfinished masterpieceâ?often considered her most modern and exciting novelâ?gets a spectacular second act in this tie-in to a major new limited television series.
