Northanger Abbey (AmazonClassics Edition)

By: Jane Austen

Narrated by: Henrietta Meire

Seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland excitedly accepts an offer to accompany family friends on a trip to Bath. There, Catherine makes new acquaintances who invite her to Northanger Abbey, and she encounters a world she’d only glimpsed in the pages of her beloved gothic novels. Through Catherine’s eyes, the Abbey is full of mystery, suspense, and adventure; and she is the heroine at the center of it all. As her imagination begins to run wild, she imperils her summer, her new friendships, and her burgeoning relationship with the charming Henry Tilney.

Both a satire of gothic fiction and a coming-of-age story, Northanger Abbey is widely regarded as one of Jane Austen’s most comedic works.

An insightful and lovely story

Such a wonderful story with so agreeable characters. Also, many truths and insights into human nature and the human experience.

Boring, flowery story

This was not my favorite. It was boring and strange. Too in your face with authors point of view...

Fun Jane Austin book!

Thoroughly enjoyed the meta writing style of this book! I found this the funniest of Austen’s works, and a close second to Pride and Prejudice in overall enjoyment!

Tried, I really did

Just couldn't get through a fretful teenager and petty relationships. The satire is lost on me. I enjoy Jane Austen but not this particular work.
