Considered the most light-hearted & satirical of Austen’s novels, Northanger Abbey tells the story of an unlikely young heroine Catherine Morl&.

While staying in Bath, Catherine meets Henry Tilney & his sister Eleanor who invite her to their family estate, Northanger Abbey. A fan of Gothic Romance novels, naive Catherine is soon letting her imagination run wild in the atmospheric abbey, fuelled by her friendship with the vivacious Isabella Thorpe.

It is only when the realities of life set in around her that Catherine’s fantastical world is shattered. A coming-of-age novel, Austen expertly parodies the Gothic romance novels of her time & reveals much about her unsentimental view of love & marriage in the eighteenth century.
