Northanger Abbey
Jane Austen's books all have certain things in common--a heroine who comes from a large family of limited means and loves to read, a hero of better means who is misunderstood in some way, a rogue who will later be revealed as a money-grubbing womanizer, and a clergyman.

In our modern day of instant gratification Austin's characters serve a refreshing example of people who persever in the face of frustration of purpose.
