Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well, I'm a big fan of Jane Austen and I also loved the book "Pride and Prejudice"!. I also liked the books "Sense and Sensibility", "Mansfield Park", "Persuasion","Emma", "Northanger Abbey" (these are all books from Jane Austen ;-)) !. And I love the book "Little Women" from Louisa May Alcott!. I hope that I could help you ;-)Www@QuestionHome@Com If you liked Pride and Prejudice, you'll love the books of Bronte sisters -in case you don't want to read another Jane Austen- You can read Jane Eyre Or try Wuthering Heights (This one has a very apparent gothic influence and it's a dark novel!. Still, a great love story!.) Mind you, the Bronte sisters don't busy themselves with giving a DIRECT social message as Austen does!. You'll see that there is more real romance in the books of these sisters!.Www@QuestionHome@Com you should read her other books as well, especially Emma! I also like Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte There's a sequel for P&P that has had some good reviews (but of course do not expect it to live up 100% to the original!): Mr Darcy Takes a Wife The Bridget Jones Diaries are based on Pride and Prejudice and are good reads as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Try Emma, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion!. In terms of sequels written by other authors, try: Elizabeth Aston's: http://www!.fantasticfiction!.co!.uk/a/eliz!.!.!. Pamela Aidan: http://www!.fantasticfiction!.co!.uk/a/pame!.!.!. Amanda Grange: http://www!.fantasticfiction!.co!.uk/g/aman!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Wuthering Heights, ANYTHING by Jane Austen (Emma, Sense and Sensibility)!. also, a bit of a twist is a modern author named Libba Bray who writes a fantasy and I'm sure based her roots in Miss Austen's work!. You should try looking at "A Great And Terrible Beauty" by her!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Refining Felicity by Marion Chesney also, here's a website that has a lot of similar books: http://www!.answerpoint!.org/forums/topic!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com yeah, I would go with more Jane Austen stuff, she's amazing!. Emma is good, so is Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Persuasion, Northanger Abbey, etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Try Anna Karenina by Leo TolstoyWww@QuestionHome@Com Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is a classic!Www@QuestionHome@Com |
