Description
Austen's witty exploration of the perils of mistaking fiction for reality is at the heart of this engaging novel. At Bath, young Catherine Morland experiences the joys of fashionable society for the first time, befriending those who share her love of Gothic romance and intrigue.
Her imagination runs wild as she visits the Tilney family's mysterious house, Northanger Abbey, where she conjures up terrible crimes and sinister plots, influenced by her favourite novels of sensation and intrigue. With its broad comedy and irrepressible heroine, this is a youthful and optimistic work that showcases Austen's unique voice.
