Summary of NORTHANGER ABBEY

Catherine Morland is an upper-middle-class single woman from the sticks. Without anyone to properly introduce her into monied society, Catherine attends the summer at Bath with her weird older neighbors. While there, she is befriended by the two young Thorpe siblings– fancy and false Isabella, and gruff and stupid John. Catherine is sidelined by the Thorpes, but catches the eye of the desireable Henry Tilney, and befriends his younger sister, Eleanor. Isabella visits the Tilney family home, Northanger Abbey, and is quickly convinced that Henry's father, the General, murdered his first wife; she is caught snooping through the house while John Thorpe is also sabotaging her prospects with Henry by lying to the General about Catherine's wealth. The General kicks Catherine to the curb, but Henry determines the truth and proposes.
