Austen’s first novel, which was written in 1803, but nevertheless did not see the light and gain popularity until years after the writer’s death in 1818.

A witty tale of love and amusing adventures of seventeen-year-old provincial girl, to the point of reading fashionable Gothic novels that dark secrets and mysterious crimes are seen everywhere – especially when she comes to visit her fiance in a real Gothic castle, whose name, in fact, and gave the title to this charming novel.
