The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. I think you might like this for its complexity and drama. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë. A woman moves to a remote manor-house and seems happy to become a recluse. Some argue that this is the first feminist novel. It’s my favourite of all the Brontë novels – it deals with hard things (alcoholism, violence, reputation) so well. Though I also wish everyone would just leave the heroine alone.
