I fancy reading a classic novel but stuck for ideas. I've read and enjoyed all the Hardys, Austens, Gaskell and Brontë. I also really enjoyed A Tree Grows in Brooklyn which is a slightly later classic. I've read some Dickens but not sure if his style is what I'm after, and I like reading about women's stories which I'm not sure he specialises in, correct me if I'm wrong.
I really want a book I can get immersed in and feel sad when it ends, if you know what I mean!
Any suggestions?

I am going to suggest:
Mrs Dalloway
Howard's End
Cranford
North and South
MIddlemarch
I don't know if any of those will hit the spot!

The Woman in White?
A real page-turner and features one of my favourite female characters.
