Summary
This is Jane Austen's first novel that wasn't published until after her death. It is a witty, light-hearted satire of Gothic novels, which were quite the rage at the time. There is seventeen-year-old Catherine Mortland, who loves such books and readily believes such mysterious and dark events are afoot in her own world. There is John Thorpe - vain and authoritative, and Henry Tilney - charming and witty. And there is Northanger Abbey, full of mystery, horror, and dark secrets - or so Catherine would believe
