Northanger Abbey
by Jane Austen
First, Stephenson is a superlative narrator and I am amazed at her talent.
Second, I loved this deeply. I love Austen, and this is great Austen - sharp and perceptive. Henry Tilney has, I think, become my favorite Austenian hero. Catherine is sweet and kind, the Thorpes despicable, and Elinor so lovely.
There's some great literary commentary in this too - on Gothic novels, and on the real life familial tyrannies reflected in novels.
