One ordinary girl in search of an extraordinary life.
Seventeen-year-old Catherine 'Cat' Morland has led a sheltered existence in rural Dorset, a life entirely bereft of the romance and excitement for which she yearns. So when Cat's wealthy neighbours, the Allens, ask her to accompany them to the Edinburgh Festival, she is sure adventure beckons.
Edinburgh initially offers no such thrills, until a Highland Dance class brings Cat a new acquaintance. Henry Tilney, a dark-eyed gentleman whose family home, Northanger Abbey, sounds perfectly thrilling. And then an introduction to Bella Thorpe, who shares her passion for supernatural novels, provides Cat with a new friend. But with Bella comes her obnoxious brother John who is intent on thwarting Cat's growing fondness for Henry.
Happily, rescue is at hand when she receives an invitation to stay at Northanger. Cat's imagination runs riot: an ancient abbey, crumbling turrets, secret chambers, ghosts...and Henry! What could be more deliciously romantic?
But Cat gets far more than she bargained for in this isolated corner of the Scottish Borders. The real world outside the pages of a novel proves to be altogether more disturbing than the imagined world within...
