These short stories retell the classic story of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, one for each week of the year, each one an exploration what the characters might have thought and done beyond the novel's pages. Some are short and sweet, others the length of a full chapter. Familiar voices speak to otherwise minor details and characters previously kept in the background become fully realized.
The title comes from Shakespeare's Othello, as quoted by Miss Austen in Chapter One, with quotations from the book throughout. Enjoy this timeless tale with new eyes, ears, and heart.
