northanger abbey paperback

a wonderfully entertaining coming-of-age story, northanger abbey is often referred to as jane austen's "gothic parody." decrepit castles, locked rooms, mysterious chests, cryptic notes, and tyrannical fathers give the story an uncanny air, but one with a decidedly satirical twist. executed with high-spirited gusto, northanger abbey is a lighthearted, yet unsentimental commentary on love and marriage.
