Henry Tilney's Diary and a Modern Northanger Abbey
Show Notes

This week, Elle and Catrina read two Northanger Abbey adaptations. While each book is part of a collection of adaptations that we have read before. One is Northanger Abbey through the eyes of Henry Tilney. The other is a modern take - do modern, Catherine might be a Twilight girl. 

Elle reviews Henry Tilney's Diary by Amanda Grange. This is the third book by Amanda Grange Elle has read for the podcast and, like the others, it doesn't disappoint.  If you love Henry Tilney, then this book will have you falling in love even more. What's more, we finally get to see the end of the book play out in real-time.

Catrina got to re-read the modern adaptation called Northanger Abbey by Val McDermid. This modern adaptation is part of the Jane Austen project that brought us Eligible and Emma. What makes this modern adaptation unique is that this version of Catherine is very relatable to anyone who was into supernatural books in the early 20-teens. Oh, and General Tilney might be a vampire...
