Signature Gilded Editions line.</B><BR/><BR/> Seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland is not cut out to be the heroine of one of the Gothic novels she reads so avidly. That, however, does not stop her from constantly imagining herself at the center of a moody and mysterious narrative, especially when her wealthy neighbors invite her to spend the season in the glamourous resort town of Bath. As Catherine navigates the complex world of high society, her fiction-fueled expectations lead to a series of disastrous misunderstandings, and she soon learns that real life is a far cry from the stories she holds so dear.
