    The bad thing about 18th century classic literature is they’re not making any more of it. Looking for books with a similar vibe to Jane Austen and Charlotte & Emily Brontë. Any suggestions?

    1. Check out Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. It’s very short, and gave me Brontë vibes.

      Tess of the D’Urbervilles is another great one; much longer.

      If you’re open to a more modern book with Big Wuthering Heights Energy, check out The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. It’s a pretty gross gothic suspense book that could be set in any time period.

      *Vanity Fair*, Thackeray. *Wives and Daughters*, Elizabeth Gaskell. *The Forsyte Saga*, John Galsworthy.

      It was written later, but I’m really digging the vibe of Georgette Heyer’s The Grand Sophy.
