Northanger Abbey

Summary: When Catherine Moorland, a seventeen-year-old girl who is not yet wise to the ways of the world, accompanies some family friends to the town of Bath, he has the pleasure of making several new acquaintances, some of whom prove to be true friends and others of whom do not. An avid reader of Gothic novels, Catherine often imagines situations to be more dramatic than they really are, but, throughout the course of her interactions with her new friends, she learns that, while reality is often less frightful than she would imagine, it can sometimes be just as tumultuous.
