A story of Americans living on the French Riviera in the 1930s is a portrait of psychological disintegration as a wealthy couple supports friends and hangers-on financially and emotionally at the cost of their own stability.

While enjoying a stay in fashionable Bath, the young and callow Catherine Morland is introduced to the delights of high society. A satire on the gothic mode typified by the novels of Ann Radcliffe, 'Northanger Abbey' is a witty comedy of manners in the style of Jane Austen's later novels.
