About this product

Product Information

Long before our modern-day crime author draws a final, canny ace from her tartan sleeve, you ll have succumbed to the delights of Northanger a la McDermid. The Boston Globe Now in paperback, Val McDermid s Northanger Abbey is an updated take on Jane Austen s classic vel about a young woman whose visit to the stately home of a well-to-do acquaintance stirs her most macabre imaginings. A homeschooled minister s daughter in the quaint, sheltered Piddle Valley in Dorset, Cat Morland loses herself in vels (and, of course, her smartphone) and is sure there is a glamorous adventure awaiting her beyond the valley s narrow horizon. So imagine her delight when her neighbors, the Allens, invite her to attend the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh as their guest. Cat quickly begins to take Edinburgh by storm and is taken into the bosom of the Thorpe family, particularly by eldest daughter Bella. And then she meets handsome Henry Tilney, who lives at the beautiful and forbidding Northanger Abbey. Cat is entranced by Henry and his charming sister Elear, but she can t help but wonder if everything about them is as perfect as it seems. Maybe she has just been reading too many vels? There s an archness and precision to McDermid s prose that beautifully echoes Austen s own. . . . Engages in a witty conversation with the original . . . More than just a cover version. McDermid has taken possession of Northanger Abbey.New York Times Book ReviewA te perfect modern reworking of Austen s classic gothic satire. . . . Breezy, vital, inventive . . . [McDermid s] obvious pleasure in the task is as contagious as Austen s wit. The Scotsman (UK)
