Northanger Abbey Jane Austen | 
Me trying the hot spring waters at the Roman Baths. The smell was a little off-putting but the water had no taste. I was surprised and tend to think it was treated or “watered down.” @Dilara

The Roman baths were an important part of the character Catherine‘s time in Bath.
There is a lot more to see here than when husband & I came here 25+ years ago.
I returned today to Sydney Place to take a photo of the “apartments” where Jane Austen‘s residence was. It was way way way down there. We walked it yesterday but today was pretty packed so I just took a photo of this view.
Bath, England
pickCatherine is an innocent in a world of complexity. An unsuspecting heroine, she is thrown into friendships and relationships that aren‘t always what they seem. She embarks on a long visit to Bath with neighbors, the Allens, where she meets the Thorpes and the Tilneys. She and Isabella Thorpe become best of friends and Catherine has her eye on Henry Tilney. Siblings throw in complicated twists. Then Henry‘s sister invites Catherine to spend ⬇️
So I‘ve decided to start this one since it was only 29 cents and it‘s still January for #authoramonth @Soubhiville
Wondering how much I‘ll get confused reading it while also reading Sense and Sensibility
I got the last one to complete my Chiltern Classics Jane Austen collection. I don't usually collect hardcovers, but these were too beautiful to resist. They even have gold or silver edges and attached ribbon bookmarks too. I might have to get The Brontë Sisters ones next.
pickI enjoyed Northanger Abbey quite a bit! I went back and forth between the audiobook version and my paperback copy. I could relate to Catherine‘s wild imagination and her obsession with novels, and I found Henry Tilney to be oh so charming. This is my second Austen read and I am loving her writing!
pickOne of Austen‘s earlier works although not published until after her death, Northanger Abbey is a charming rom-com and coming of age novel. Catherine Morland is 17 and visiting Bath for the season. There she meets the Thorpes and Tilneys, who both seek her friendship but whose motives in doing so are quite different. Fake friends have been a thing forever! https://cannonballread.com/2021/07/northanger-abbey-elcicco/
