First published posthumously in 1817, Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey is both a charming coming-of-age story and a playful satire of Gothic fiction. It follows Catherine Morland, an impressionable young woman whose love of sensational novels shapes the way she views the world. Invited to the Tilneys' estate, Northanger Abbey, Catherine's imagination runs wild with visions of dark secrets and hidden crimes-until reality teaches her the difference between fantasy and truth.
Witty, ironic, and full of Austen's sharp social commentary, Northanger Abbey offers a delightful exploration of youth, romance, and the perils of mistaking fiction for life.
