Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

Condition: New

Northanger Abbey follows Catherine Morland, a sheltered young woman who becomes fascinated by Gothic novels and starts imagining mysteries wherever she goes. When she visits the eccentric Tilneys at Northanger Abbey, Catherine’s romantic fantasies about hidden crimes and secret plots clash with the reality of her hosts and their concerns. The story uses her misreadings and growing self-awareness to explore judgment, manners, and the difference between imagination and experience.
