Loving Miss Tilney: A Variation of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey by Heather Moll. ★★★★★

Heather Moll has long been a skilled weaver of pride and prejudice variations.  
When she introduced her new book, a Northanger Abbey variation, I was keen to read it.

We are quickly drawn into Eleanor Tilney’s desperate need to escape the tyranny and abuse of her father, General Tilney.  

A marriage of affection is denied her, as Philip, the man she loves, lacks fortune.  

A marriage of convenience, while unattractive, has to be better than remaining under the General’s control.  

Unfortunately, Philip is forced to witness Eleanor seeking the attention of a wealthy (and rather unpleasant man).  
The pain for a Philip and Eleanor is acute.

The story is well written with a large dollop of angst!  
Will Eleanor escape the Abbey? Can there be a happy ever after?

I highly recommend this book.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review. All views expressed are my own.
