Reading Brideshead Revisited right now -
Awesome!
Most of the story is in the 1920's, but it does extend to the 1940's, so I guess it just missed this group.

I've never read it but was mesmerized by the BBC production.

I recently finished reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. I believe it fits within this group's time period, though just barely. I think it came out in 1938. It is a wonderful book. Du Maurier is a master of suspense, and the book deserves all the recognition it has gotten. I can't believe I didn't get around to reading it until now. How did I miss this one?

[Gitte]

Casceil, I've yet to read it! I'm glad you liked it, It makes me look even more forward to reading it.

I just started reading classics this year and so far my favorite is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, published in 1847. It was actually my first classic. When I started it I thought it was just an old gothic romance, which it sort of is, but it's much more. Its a tormented gothic love story but its also about a mans revenge. I was absorbed all the way though. I would highly recommend it to eveyone, man or woman, who hasn't read. Take into consideration that it is dark and depressing.

Also,The Secret Garden by Frances HodgsonBurnett, although technically a children's classic, is EXCELLENT! I'd highly recommend that also! Im pretty sure that book changed my life.
