Northanger Abbey

Northanger Abbey
It follows the adventures of Catherine Morland, a passionate, though impressionable, small town girl, who is perhaps too devoted to gothic thrillers. Young Catherine thirsts for adventure and soon finds it in the fashionable resort of Bath, england. Hosted by Mr. & Mrs. allen, her wealthy neighbors from home, she experiences her first social whirl amidst the Thorpe and Tilney families while obsessively reading her favorite new novel, Radcliffe's the Mysteries Of Udolpho. Scenes from the novel, experienced in Catherine's vivid imagination, are inter-woven with the comparatively civil but no less eventful, adventures of Catherine's real life. the result is a swashbuckling journey through Catherine's two worlds, culminating in her unexpected visitation to the Tilney's mysterious estate, Northanger abbey.
