Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen



Read March 2018.

I am an unapologetic Jane Austen mega-fan and re-read her books over and over again. There is always something new to see in her novels. She had a very satirical eye and her books offer a great social commentary of the era. Her use of language is fantastic.

In this instance, it is Jane's first published book, Northanger Abbey, that was back in my hands.
This is probably the one I have read the least over the years, as it is not one of my favourites, but is was nice to revisit the adventures of Catherine Morland again and it is a wicked riff on the gothic novel.
