The Bride of Northanger
Diana Birchall
A happier heroine than Catherine Morland does not exist in England, for she is about to marry her beloved, the handsome, witty Henry Tilney. The night before the wedding, Henry reluctantly tells Catherine and her horrified parents a secret he has dreaded to share - that there is a terrible curse on his family and their home, Northanger Abbey.
Henry is a clergyman, educated and rational, and after her year's engagement Catherine is no longer the silly young girl who delighted in reading "horrid novels"; she has improved in both reading and rationality. This sensible young couple cannot believe curses are real ... until a murder at the Abbey triggers events as horrid and Gothic as Jane Austen ever parodied - events that shake the young Tilneys' certainties, but never their love for each other ... - Amazon
