Description

An Apple Books Classic edition.
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.
