Publisher Description
Northanger Abbey is a hilarious parody of 18th century gothic novels. The heroine, 17-year old Catherine, has been reading far too many “horrid” gothic novels and would love to encounter some gothic-style terror — but the superficial world of Bath proves hazardous enough.
Customer Reviews
Classic Jane Austen
I love Jane Austen’s style! This book was light-hearted and had really enjoyable characters to get to know.
A sucker for romance
I really like the fact that this was a love story without the sex. Also, this book showed excellent examples of real and fake friendships. I had hoped James would’ve found someone in the end that truly loved him for who he was, though.
Jane Austen at her best!
Jane’s humor and finesse of language is paramount in this funny and sweet novel. While it isn’t as powerful as Pride and Prejudice, it still has that enjoyable Jane Austen quality that leaves you smiling and hopeful! If only life could be a JA novel, we’d all be lucky!
