Jane Austen

Rachel Bladon

Catherine is spending the summer in Bath. It is a new world for Catherine, who has never left her home village before. There are dances, visits to the theatre, her new friends Isabella Thorpe and Eleanor Tilney... and Eleanor's brother Henry, who she likes at once. For Catherine, life is about love and adventure. So when she is invited to Northanger Abbey, the Tilney's home, it seems full of mystery. But soon Catherine begins to learn a few lessons about real life-about who her friends are, and why, for some people, money is more important than love.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

Iona 

 There is nothing I would not do for who are really my friends. I have no notion loving people those by halves, it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong. 

Her duplicity hurts me more than all; till the very last, ifI reasoned with her, she declared herself as much attached to me as ever, and laughed at my fears. I am ashamed to think how long I bore with it; but if ever man had reason to believe himself loved, I was that man.
