Northanger Abbey

Catherine Morland is an rather unusual heroine for Jane Austen: she is young and virtuous, but neither exceptionally beautiful nor particularly elegant, and as the daughter of a clergyman, not a really good match, even though the father is rich. Her main interest is books and their characters, and she behaves accordingly naively in real life. Her heart beats for the educated, well-bred Henry Tilney, whose sister invites her to the family's country estate Northanger Abbey. The place fires Catherine's imagination: she believes she is on the trail of a dark family secret. Gr ls-Classics - English Edition
