I also wanted to mention her novella, A Dark's Night Work, which I love. It's a really, really fantastic book, what I'd highly recommend.

I also wanted to quickly mention Alex Forbes of Howglen, which is a Scottish Victorian novel I read a few years ago and really enjoyed. This is another kind of dual coming of age story.
I love David Copperfield. I think it's fantastic. It is long, but it is very accessible, and because it's in the first person, I think it's one of Dickens's slightly more accessible books, definitely one I'd recommend for this challenge.
This is an absolutely fantastic novel. It would definitely be in my top five novels of all time, and I highly, highly recommend it.
It's a wonderful read, again, first person, one of Dickens's easier books to follow, and definitely one that would work well for this challenge.
I also wanted to recommend Hester, where we're following a young woman called Hester as she moves to a new town with her mother, interacts with lots of new people and begins to find her feet.
I loved Jane Eyre hugely. It is incredibly fantastic and amazing for so many different reasons, and I highly, highly recommend it.
Jill is a wonderful, very different, very unique, fantastic novel, which is about a young woman who is from a wealthy background, but is bored at home so decides to run away and become a lady's maid, and we follow her life and her adventures. And it's very, very wonderful.
And it's a really fantastic read, one I'd highly recommend. I really like the way their relationship is done, and the way this book looks at class and friendship as well.
It's fantastic. It's grim. It's depressing, but so, so good.
And I also wanted to mention Love and Mr. Lewisham by H.G. Wells, which is a book about a young man who is training to be a teacher about his relationship with the people around him and his kind of struggles between love and kind of ambition, I suppose. It's a really fantastic read, one I definitely recommend.
I love Olive. It's one of my favourite books of all time. I'm thinking I might actually reread it this Victober, and it's a fantastic coming of age story, a wonderful Bildungsroman and I would really highly recommend it.
I found him quite frustrating to read about, which is one of the reasons why I didn't really get on with this book, but I do feel like that is kind of the point. And while I don't like it very much, I guess if you're interested in reading it, you could read it for this challenge.
It's a really fantastic read and one I highly recommend. I'm really excited to be rereading it. I think I've read it twice before, but it'd be really nice to read this for the third time this Victober.
The main reason why I don't like it is a combination of the ending (I hate it!!!) and the fact that I just don't get on with George Eliot's writing, which is entirely personal.
So, first I wanted to mention her novella, The Moorland Cottage, which is well worth a read. This is a bit of a Bildungsroman, a bit of a love story.
This is a sensationalist novel and a gothic novel and a really fantastic one. And we meet our main character, Maud, at the start of the novel when she is 17 years old.
It's a fantastic read one of my favourite Bronte books, one I highly recommend.
I love this novel so much. It's about our main character, Molly, what happens when her widowed father decides to marry again. It's beautiful.
And talking of the Brontes, my absolute favourite book by the Bronte sisters is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.
