Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
4.75
Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey stands out from her other novels with its focus on satire on the values and conventions of the society , coming of age and character development, beyond just romance and family dynamics. For me, Henry Tilney is one of Austen's greenest flags—he's very close to his sister, values his loved ones, enjoys reading, is witty, and appreciates muslin.
As one of Austen's final works, I think this plot is better and intriguing than her other books. Northanger Abbey offers a rich set of themes, including coming of age, friendship, deceit, hypocrisy, social class, vanity, and the satirized gothic elements. It explores love, life, literature, and uses humor and sarcasm effectively.
Despite my deep affection for Northanger Abbey, Persuasion remains my favorite, with Northanger Abbey and Pride & Prejudice sharing a close second place. I highly recommend this novel to beginners who would love to explore classics and Jane Austen.
