from the author’s blog:
Henry and Catherine Tilney are content with their married life: a comfortable parsonage, their dogs, and one another. The idea of returning to Bath a year after they first met there seems like it can only add to their happiness; but Catherine finds that Bath still carries social dangers that she must learn to navigate. What is the nature of Henry’s past relationship with a beautiful young woman? Why is a rakish baronet paying Catherine such particular attention? Is General Tilney going to marry the woman known in Bath as The Merry Widow—and what did she have to do with her husband’s death? And will Henry ever be able to keep his Newfoundland out of the river? Revisit the winter pleasures of Georgian Bath with your favorite characters from Jane Austen’s hilarious Northanger Abbey, and prepare for a bit of romance, a bit of mystery, and a very nice story indeed!
MY THOUGHTS:
- A new author for me! Even though I check out her blog religiously, I have yet to read Ms. Sullivan’s previous novel, The Jane Austen Handbook.
- There just isn’t enough written about Northanger Abbey!
- I look forward to seeing how marriage has changed Catherine and Henry.
- Henry’s past relationship with a beautiful woman? A rakish baronet paying particlar attention to Catherine? Sounds intriguing…
- I wonder if someone will be murdered, and if so, who?
- Included in this novella are 29 illustrations. I can’t wait so see them!
- The ebook version of this story is FREE!!! Hop over to Girlebooks and download your copy!

I am especially excited about this book. Finally a Northanger Abbey sequel! Sounds wonderful, too!
Love the facelift! Your blog looks beautiful. Mags is the Northanger expert, and I just added this book to my shopping cart. Should be excellent!
Very excited to read this book, which I recently won on Austenblog! I really enjoyed The Jane Austen Handbook, and there is no one with whom I would trust Henry Tilney than Ms. Sullivan 🙂
Me too. I love Northanger. I’ve looked forward to more works related to it.
A very enjoyable read. Thank you for recommending it.
Glad you enjoyed it! I can’t wait to read it myself!
