Book excerpt: Shortly before she died, Jane Austen started working on a new novel. Never finished, it was bequeathed to her favourite niece and remained unknown until 1871, when her nephew referred to it in his Memoir of Jane Austen. While her nephew did not consider it worthy of publishing, novelist and critic E M Forester firmly disagreed, stating that the work would undoubtedly "throw light on the last phase of the great novelist" if published. There have been a few attempts to complete this work, but non have captured the true magic of an Austen novel until now. Originally named The Brothers by Austen and dubbed Sanditon by her family, this 'new' novel promises to bring to life another Austen heroine worthy of keeping company with the likes of Elizabeth, Emma, and Anne. Her name is Charlotte.
