Negative Positive
Title: Another classic from Austen
Review: Jane Austen is the queen of subtle satire, and in Northanger Abbey she turns a sardonic eye toward the Gothic novels that are beloved by the protagonist, Catherine Morland, while also weaving a critical view of social conventions and women's roles. This is as riveting as her other works, with the addition of some laugh out loud moments as Catherine explores the "secrets" of Northanger Abbey with a foreboding instilled by her reading habits.There is spookiness, family drama, thwarted love, betrayal, deception and manipulation, as well as the sense that integrity and goodness will win the day as they usually do in Austen's works. This is another unforgettable classic.
