While spending a few weeks in Bath with a family friend\, Catherine meets and falls in love with Henry Tilney\, who invites her to visit his family estate\, Northanger Abbey. Once there\, Catherine\, a great reader of Gothic thrillers\, lets the shadowy atmosphere of the old mansion fill her mind with terrible suspicions. What is the mystery surrounding the death of Henry’s mother? Is the family concealing a terrible secret within the elegant rooms of the Abbey? Can she trust Henry\, or is he part of an evil conspiracy? Catherine finds dreadful portents in the most prosaic events\, until Henry persuades her to see the peril in confusing life with art.

In the midst of a blisteringly hot summer\, a lone woman begins to dance in the city square. She dances for days without pause or rest\, and when hundreds of other women join her\, the men running the city declare a state of emergency and hire musicians to play the Devil out of the mob. Outside the city\, pregnant Lisbet lives with her husband and mother-in-law\, tending the bees that are the family’s livelihood. Though Lisbet is removed from the frenzy of the dancing plague afflicting the city’s women\, her own quiet life is upended by the arrival of her sister-in-law. Nethe has been away for seven years\, serving a penance in the mountains for a crime no one will name. \nIt is a secret Lisbet is determined to uncover. As the city buckles under the beat of a thousand feet\, Lisbet becomes caught in a dangerous web of deceit and clandestine passion. Like the women of Strasbourg\, she too\, is dancing to a dangerous tune. . . .
