A good read! Catherine in Northanger is one of my favourite Austen characters. I remember being so pleasantly surprised by that novel when I read it last year.

Yes, I think it's a bit different from Austen's other works, maybe a targeted towards a younger audience, of course Austen herself was much younger when she wrote it, that's probably gives the story its energy, mainly through Catherine

Oh I really love this! It also speaks to Jane Austin's talent for writing!

Absolutely!!! She's such a great writer, the more you read her works the more you figure it out

It's probably my Virgo nature coming out, but I've always felt especially fond of Elinor Dashwood. Emma Thompson was really too old to play her in the 1995 movie, but I liked her performance anyway. I'd be interested in hearing how you describe Austen's gentlemen.

So enjoyed reading your thoughts on Jane Austen's heroines! I think I am a bit like Elizabeth Bennet and Elinor Dashwood. 🤗 I would be interested in reading a blog post about your thoughts on the gentleman in Jane Austen's novels maybe!? 🤍
