    About this audiobook

    Jane Austen's first novel, Northanger Abbey, published posthumously in 1818, tells the story of Catherine Morland and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. Though Austen's fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature. The satirical Northanger Abbey pokes fun at the Gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex.

    Jane Austen

    Jane Austen was born in 1775 in rural Hampshire, the daughter of an affluent village rector who encouraged her in her artistic pursuits. In novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma she developed her subtle analysis of contemporary life through depictions of the middle-classes in small towns. Her sharp wit and incisive portraits of ordinary people have given her novels enduring popularity. She died in 1817.

      Found this one a bit hard to get into at first, the Thorpes annoyed me! Jane's writing is also the kind of writing you need to pay attention to, so I found myself rereading sentences at times. But it was nice nonetheless
    • 5/5
      The narration was good and felt in keeping with the style of the novel.
    • 4/5
      Really cute story comparison to the other tropes of the time threw me off a bit but I really enjoyed the book. But there was little direct interaction between Henry and Katerin. Movie wad better in that respect.
    • 3/5
      I guessed I read this book But I can't remember the story. It's better than I thought though. It's quite enjoyable
