Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen is a regency romantic
classic. We follow young and innocent country girl Catherine Moorland when her
well to do neighbours invite her to join them on a vacation to Bath.
I gave this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. This is such a
delightful read. Catherine is sweet and adorable while the other characters are
fascinating in their own different ways (both good and bad). It never ceases to
entertain me seeing how she interacts with each of the other characters,
especially when things are going over her head.
I love how Austen makes fun of the gothic novels and weaves
her own captivating story. Even though there isn’t much happening, it doesn’t
feel boring. It is a bit of a slower read, but that is because of the writing
style and language of the times.
This is one of those books that can be read multiple times
and you can get something more from it each time. No wonder Austen is one of my
favourite authors.
