Book:Northanger abbey

Work

Northanger abbey

Northanger Abbey follows Catherine Morland, a naive and bookish young woman who is invited to stay with the wealthy Tilney family at their ancient home, Northanger Abbey. Influenced by the Gothic novels she loves, Catherine begins to imagine that the abbey harbors dark secrets, including a possible murder. As she becomes entangled in social relationships and romantic misunderstandings, she must learn to distinguish between fiction and reality. The novel gently satirizes the conventions of Gothic fiction while exploring themes of social class, imagination, and personal growth. more

“My theory was that if I behaved like a confident, cheerful person, eventually I would buy it myself, and become that. I always had traces of strength somewhere inside me, it wasn't fake, it was just a way of summoning my courage to the fore and not letting any creeping self-doubt hinder my adventures. This method worked then, and it works now. I tell myself that I am the sort of person who can open a one-woman play in the West End, so I do. I am the sort of person who has several companies, so I do. I am the sort of person WHO WRITES A BOOK! So I do. It's the process of having faith in the self you don't quite know you are yet, if you see what I mean. Believing that you will find the strength, the means somehow, and trusting in that, although your legs are like jelly. You can still walk on them and you will find the bones as you walk. Yes, that's it. The further I walk, the stronger I become. So unlike the real lived life, where the further you walk, the more your hips hurt.”
