“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”— direct quote from your new book boyfriend. Northanger Abbey is a clever, comical, and loving send-up of the gothic novel, starring a naive, book-loving heroine who always thinks she‘s about to be thrown into the plot of her current page-turner and a pining know-it-all hero whose defense of popular fiction had me swooning over 200 years later!
