A coming-of-age tale for the young and naïve 17-year-old Catherine Morland, Northanger Abbey takes a decidedly comical look at themes of class, family, love and literature. Revelling in the sensationalist - and extremely popular - Gothic fiction of her day, the story follows Catherine out of Bath to the lofty manor of the Tilneys, where her overactive imagination gets to work constructing an absurd and melodramatic explanation for the death of Mrs Tilney, which threatens to jeopardise her newly forged friendships.

This Audible Originals production of Northanger Abbey stars Emma Thompson (Academy Award, Golden Globe, Emmy and BAFTA winner, Love Actually, Harry Potter, Sense and Sensibility), Lily Cole (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Snow White and the Huntsman, St. Trinian's), Douglas Booth (Noah, Great Expectations, The Riot Club), Jeremy Irvine (Warhorse, The Railway Man, Now Is Good), Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark, The Illusionist, Alice in Wonderland) and Ella Purnell (Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Never Let Me Go, Kick-Ass 2), amongst others.

Wonderful voices/acting. Brings it to life.

I am super particular about readers of Jane Austen's books. I have tried to find the best narrators and this is wonderful!! I feel all her books should be read by England's English and not by Amercian English narrators and this one has wonderful readers/actors. Love it!!!!!

I usually enjoy Jane Austen's writings, but found this one particularly vapid and boring. However, the readers did an great job.

This is not what I looking for

Unfortunately, this is not at all what I was looking for. I need the full narrated text of the novel, and it turned out to be a staging.

The sound needs work - I couldn't hear some of the actors very well

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this "radio" play. Emma Thompson is a terrific narrator. The sound needed work as some of the actors were hard to hear so I had to keep adjusting the sound, whether it was playing on the radio in the car (from my phone) or on my Echo. I wouldn't discourage you from buying it for that reason though. I truly enjoyed it. The one star off is for the sound.

I wasn't a big fan of the ending. There just wasn't a real hero ending.
