Catherine leaves her quiet country life to enter the leisure society at Bath. Her expectations soar when she is invited into the mysterious Tilney family home, Northanger Abbey. But soon she is entangled in a web of secrecy and romance. Austen's posthumously published novel is a delightful satire of the period's Gothic novels, poking fun at romantic follies of the genteel classes. Includes bonus PDF e-book. The movie Becoming Jane focuses on this delightful author.
