Lizzie - Classic Book Club

Welcome to Classic Book Club

Hello! I am Lizzie, and my main joy in life is reading books and thinking about books! I have so many thoughts about each book I read so wanted a place to record these thoughts, and a place where others who are reading the same book as me can share their thoughts about it too. I’ve tried to write my (often lengthy!) reviews of books so it feels like I am chatting with you as we read the book together, comparing thoughts at the end of a chapter and ideas of where the plot and characters may end up, wondering why the author has written a character or scene in a particular way and what they may be subtly trying to tell us about that character or scene. So enjoy reading along with me, and please get in touch, I’d love to be able to discover more about a favourite book from your thoughts on it.

Sanditon by Jane Austen

Featured Book Review

Jane Austen
Sanditon

It feels delightful to have a Jane Austen novel that I have yet to discover, as I know her main full-length novels inside-out as I have read them so many times (and I’m sure will continue to read them many more times). However, I haven’t read Sanditon before because I’ve always been a bit undecided about reading a novel that I know doesn’t have a resolution because it is unfinished, and I am apprehensive about being wildly frustrated at the end and left with unanswered questions (though I am taking comfort from the fact that it surely won’t be as frustrating as Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood as I’m presuming there is no murder in Sanditon!). Grab your copy and let’s read it together! Read the full review
