Jane Austen’s playful send-up of gothic romance doubles as a coming-of-age story for one of her most endearing heroines. Seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland, a clergyman’s daughter with an overactive imagination, leaves her quiet country life for the glittering social whirl of Bath. There she discovers friendship, flirtation, and a new world that seems to be shaped as much by her beloved novels as by manners. Catherine is invited to the Tilney family’s grand estate, and her love of spooky fiction leads her to suspect dark secrets behind its doors, only to find that real life offers subtler mysteries.
Northanger Abbey is one of Austen’s most enjoyable novels—a bright, funny story full of genuine heart.
Quotes
From WikiquoteTo look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.
A woman especially, if she has the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can.
Could they be perpetrated without being known, in a country like this, where social and literary intercourse is on such a footing, where every man is surrounded by a neighbourhood of voluntary spies, and where roads and newspapers lay everything open?
...from politics, it was an easy step to silence.
