Book Description:
Illustrated. The last of Jane Austen's works to be published (in 1817), the novel is modeled after the day's popular romances and Gothic thrillers, which it then proceeds to ridicule. The heroine is Catherine Morland, who encounters upper-crust society at Bath, falls in love, and becomes targeted by misinformed fortune-seekers. After moving to Northanger Abbey, her imagination goes to work and dreams up mysteries that lead to various social disasters.

Simone W. (A wonderful Jane Austen. I love the subtle wit and satire. Definitely a great read!
Sara P. (A great book! Catherine lets her imagination run wild, and it gets the better of her.
After Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, this is my favorite Austen.
one of austen's earlier novels-- slow to get started but thoroughly charming and engrossing by the end-- a pretty quick read, overall.
