Austen August: A Pride and Prejudice Read-A-Long discussion

Here is a place for you to recommend books of a non-austen nature which you think other readers may enjoy, be it from other classics like North and South to modern day fiction, like Sophie Kinsella's works!

I just finished Wilkie Collins novel The Woman in White and decided this would be a good book to recommend to the group. If you are a fan of mystery novels, you'll enjoy this book. The way he commented on the misfortunes of women of that time was simply awesome. I wish I had known about this one for my capstone project in college.

Thta is a brilliant recommendation, Renee. I've never read the woman in white but I was certainly not expecting it to appear on this thread! Haha! I actually have been wanting to read a book by Wilkie Collins for a while now as well- I'll add it to my tbr :)

Whilst I was at University I read Frances Burney's Evelina. It's an epistolary novel but very much a comedy of manners. I thought the main character was just enchanting. I keep meaning to re-read it but haven't got around to it yet.

I've never heard of Evelina- I'll definitely look it up!
