Recommendations for 15 year old girl who has enjoyed Jane Austen and Jane Eyre

My suggestion is Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - there is also a wonderful book of short stories by the same author/set in the same universe - the ladies of grace adieu. Agree with Rebecca and Jamaica Inn. Northanger Abbey if she hasn’t already. Dracula. The Bell jar. Margaret Atwood maybe? Or Isabel Allende.

The Age of Innocence
Anna Karenina
The French Lieutenant's Woman
The Woman in White
A Portrait of the Artist aYoung Man
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Black Beauty
Little Women
Little House on the Prairie

The Night Circus is good too

How about Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, which I think is Austen's youngest heroine, about your daughter's age?

I loved Anya Seton's books. I read Avalon when I was 11 or 12, then Kathryn, Dragonwyk and My Theodosia. This thread has made me want to revisit some old favourites.

If she likes historical content Phillipa Gregory is a good start. Also Katherine by Anya Seton. , novel/biography of Katherine Swinford. Medieval history fascinates me and it is a good introduction to European history because of the political marriages between Spain, Portugal and England. Portugal has never been at war with England because of our royal families connections.
I loved Vsnity Fair and anything by Jane Austin. I have the complete works and regularly revisit it. My favourite film is Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightly.
Just finished binge watching “The other Bennet sister”.
A more modern unsung classic is Testament of Youth by Vera Britten. Vera was only sixteen at the start of the book.

A pp mentioned Anna Karenina which I agree your dd might like as I loved it when I was her age.

Also, Spring Torrents by Turgenev

Edited for typo

Has anyone mentioned Doctor Thorne? That's a wonderful book.

Has anyone mentioned Anna Karenin? Blew me away in my early 20s ( I did skip the sections on farming though) but the ending packs a punch.

I admit I have struggled with dickens and given up on a few but read Nicholas Nickleby last year and finished it and did enjoy it so maybe that’s a slightly more accessible one?

Not the classics but the two books I adored as a young woman and reread are

House of Spirits by Isabel Allende - magical realism and political upheaval and the powers of grandmothers. Actually missed the characters when I finished that book!

The Robber Bride and Cats Eye by Margaret Atwoood.- explains female betrayal

Dd2 and I also love the Ya Ya Sisterhood books if she wants something a little lighter but still excellent.

What about some magic realism? Garcia Marquez in the original? Like water for Chocolate and the House of Spirits? Or Midnight's Children, Life of Pi?

It's been a while since I read them though so have forgotten if there are any bits that aren't suitable for 15yo...

Yes indeed, that's why I said it was a bit irrational.

Janey was a good girl tho. As is Maggie O'Farrell.

I read The Invisible Woman many years ago and it made a big impression.

Dd is 17 doing Eng lit A levels and devours more modern stuff. She has enjoyed all of Sally Rooneys books, Coco Mellors and also Sylvia Plath. She has to read Grapes of Wrath for school I read that a few years ago gruelling but excellent and accessible.

Middlemarch I braced myself but really enjoyed it and found it quite accessible.

Edith Wharton is really good too.

Completely agree with North and South, The Woman in White, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and The Moonstone - all wonderful. Middlemarch is also great.

Slightly leftfield suggestion: Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy. Much more modern, but I think it has quite similar themes to Austen and is a lovely read (albeit that it weighs about the same as an elephant!)

In fairness, if you’re going to only read writers who behaved well in their personal lives, you’re cutting down the canon!

Love in a Cold Climate

Ah Great Expectations is another one I have read and not liked. :D maybe CD just not for me. Can't get beyond how he treated women (somewhat irrational I know).

Good point about House of Mirth being a bit downbeat tbf.

YY to The Go-Between tho I love that book it is elegaic.

Bleak House and Great Expectations. GE in particular is a good place to start if you’re not keen on DC or OT — much more tightly written and spare.

I loved Rebecca and The Go Between at that age!

Edith Wharton is wonderful but at 15 she needs a happy ending - House of Mirth would ruin things for her!

I loved Willa Cather in my teens, The Song of a Lark and O Pioneers. Also anything by Colette.
I ploughed through the whole saga of “Jalna” by Mazo de la Roche, now forgotten, but a great writer.
I found Henry James and Dickens heavy going.

The Moonstone
Cold Comfort Farm
Wise Children
The Secret History
Possession
North and South
Mary Barton
Wide Sargasso Sea

Hmm interesting.

Which Dickens would this be or all of them? My issue is the multitude of characters which appear once then never again :)

Also found him a bit preachy. Must admit this is David C and Oliver T. Many people have told me I need to read Bleak House.

Edith Wharton novels.
Hardy, particularly “Tess” and Eliot “Adam Bede”.
