'Northanger Abbey' is a satirical coming-of-age novel by Jane Austen. It follows the story of Catherine Morland, a naïve young woman who loves Gothic novels and imagines her life as one. During a visit to Bath, she meets Henry Tilney who invites her to his family's ancestral home, Northanger Abbey. Here, Catherine's overactive imagination leads her to suspect dark secrets about the Tilney family. The novel humorously addresses the gap between fiction and reality, highlighting the misconceptions sprouted from reading too much fiction.
