bibliolucinda 's review for:

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
4.0

”It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language.”

4.5 stars via audiobook, second to P&P next in my Austen rankings thus far - Emma, Mansfield Park and Lady Susan/Watson’s/Sanditon to go.
