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

[OrangeBlossomsinthesun]

Can you suggest some books for my 15 yo DD? She has read Little Women, Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights and is now about to start Jane Eyre.

Sense and Sensibility? Other authors?
Is Anne of Green Gables too young for her?

She would be reading them in translation in Spanish so nothing too obscure.

Any Jane Austen would be great if she liked P&P (I love Emma and Persuasion so much as well).

Anne of Green Gables might be a bit young but worth a look.

Other good classics I would recommend would be (children's): Little Women and What Katy Did (at School/Next as well); (adults'): Eliot's Silas Marner, Hardy's Tess, Madding Crowd, Trumpet Major, Collins' The Woman in White and The Moonstone, Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes short stories.

She might enjoy Dickens too if she hasn't read them yet.

She might enjoy I Capture the Castle, Dodie Smith.

Cold Comfort Farm?

Yeaaaahh I am so not a fan of Dickens but for sure she should give them a go.

I have been told before I have read the wrong ones (!) and should read Bleak House and Martin Chuzzlewit. They are both very long tho. Shorter ones may appeal more in which case perhaps Oliver Twist and David Copperfield.

She´s read Emma as well, should have said.

Ooh great shout, I read this relatively recently and really liked it.

The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins.

North and South.

If it's regency she loves, Georgette Heyer can be good. Venetian, The Toll Booth and An Infamous Army are my favourites.

She's a great age for Anne - there are about 8 of them.

Elizabeth Gaskell, North And South is a good one. The Mill On The Floss or Silas Marner by Eliot are good as well. I assume she's read To Kill A Mockingbird, that's a big hit at that age.

Sense And Sensibity for Austen, but I'd leave Persuasion until she's had a little more life experience. It lands better then. (It's my favourite now but not when I was a teenager)

Rebecca?

I was going to suggest Elizabeth Gaskell 😁

One of my favourite books.
Also;
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
How Green is my Valley
Rebecca
Watership Down
Forever Amber
A Town Like Alice

Fanny Trollope: ‘ Miss Marjoribanks’ and various other titles.
Elizabeth Gaskell - various
Henry James: The Spoils of Poynton was my favourite at that age. But so many.

Elizabeth Gaskell, other Jane Austen novels, Wuthering Heights, Lorna Doone, Anna of the Five Towns, Brideshead Revisited, Daphne Du Maurier.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is good. Second the Elizabeth Gaskell recommendations. I personally would keep away from Thomas Hardy at that age, I found it a bit too sad and distressing.

Sorry didn’t read about the Spanish!!

Woman in White is also good but is a ghost story.

H G Wells is quite readable at a young age too.

No, we live in Spain so she´s only really read Spanish novels so far and has only just got into the Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte. She´s bilingual but at the moment reads in Spanish as it´s her strongest language.

As she has enjoyed Jane Austen, I wonder if she would enjoy "You are Elizabeth Bennet" . . . it's a book where you create your own story. Great fun!

Evelina by Frances Burney - one of Jane Austen’s inspirations and it is hilarious.

North and South as others have suggested.

I'd say anything by Wilkie Collins.

Mary Elizabeth Bradden's sensation novels are also good, although I'm not sure whether they'd be translated in Spanish. Anthony Trollope books are also a fun read.

Hardy is terribly depressing. Not really in the same line.
I did read him but you need breaks to avoid becoming depressed.

OMG Watership Down traumatised me for years! I did like A Town Like Alice though.
She says she likes the sound of A Woman In White
