Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park

Feb 10, 2023 review of Northanger Abbey

A wonderfully entertaining coming-of-age story, Northanger Abbey is often referred to as Jane Austen's "Gothic parody." Decrepit castles, locked rooms, mysterious chests, cryptic notes, and tyrannical fathers give the story an uncanny air, but one with a decidedly satirical twist

I can't believe Northanger is your least favorite.
I'd put it above Persuasion, but that could be also because I paid more attention to Northanger. And I liked Northanger better than Mansfield.

It's hard to rank those mid ones. It's very easy to say P&P as 1 and Emma as 2 and the rest get muddled. Some of them I forgot feelings and was going by my stars and what I said in the review.

Understandable.
