Books And Bites

Carrie's PickNorthanger Abbey by Jane Austen, a coming of age story that satirizes Gothic novels. Seventeen year-old Catherine Morland visits Bath with family friends, where she indulges in her love of reading Gothic novels. When her new friends, Henry and Eleanor Tilney, invite her to their home in a former abbey, Catherine’s overactive imagination almost gets the better of her.Pairing: Bath Buns, a sweet enriched yeast dough bun that was reportedly a favorite of Austen’s. Michael's PickGone to See the River Man by Kristopher Triana.

During one visit, he gives her a task to prove her devotion that she of course eagerly accepts.Pairing: Mississippi Delta I
