Welcome to The Book Seekers' Book of the Month for April 2020! If you don't know what Book of the Month is, there's more information here but, in a nutshell, it is a monthly event during which we all read the same book and discuss it here. This discussion will be active until May 15th. Additionally, Lord of the Flies's discussion thread will also remain active until April 15th.

This month we're reading Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen!

Age Rating | Sa13+
Genre | Classics
Summary from Goodreads | Jane Austen's first novel—published posthumously in 1818—tells the story of Catherine Morland and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. Though Austen's fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature. The satirical novel pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex.
