Servitova is a writer of style and wit in the true Austen tradition.
MARK BROWNLOW, AUTHOR OF MR BENNET'S MEMOIRS AND THE CHARLOTTE COLLINS MYSTERIES
When Charlotte Heywood arrives at the fledging seaside resort of Sanditon, she quickly forms strong views on her new social circle. While she finds some to be agreeable enough, others inspire less charitable opinions, such as the penny-pinching Lady Denham, the rather dim Sir Edward and the highly ridiculous Diana Parker and her brother Arthur. But Charlotte develops a strong affection for her host's brother Sidney, and becomes increasingly friendly with wealthy heiress Miss Jemima Lambe.
Following a sea-bathing accident, the fascinating Dr Hollis enters Charlotte's life and sets off a chain of events that will leave both Charlotte and Sanditon changed forever. Romance, deceit and the threat of ruin force Charlotte to face up to her shortcomings and, in an attempt to make amends, acknowledge that her own happiness is tied to the fate of Sanditon.
Jane Austen started work on Sanditon more than 200 years ago and put it aside unfinished just weeks before her death. Now award-winning writer Rose Servitova, who skilfully completed Austen's other unfinished work, The Watsons, has finished the manuscript in a manner true to Austen's immensely readable style and sparkling wit.
Rose Servitova's debut novel, The Longbourn Letters: The Correspondence Between Mr Collins and Mr Bennet, was published to rave reviews in 2017. Her second novel, The Watsons (a completion of Jane Austen's unfinished work), was a finalist in both the SPR Book Awards and the ScreenCraft Cinematic Book Writing Competition. Rose spends much of her time writing, visiting historical buildings, talking at literary events and walking on Irish country roads. She lives in County Limerick with her husband, two children and an indifferent cat.
