Question for the book lovers on my list

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

What book would you recommend for someone who enjoyed "Jane Eyre" and Daphne DuMaurier's "Rebecca"?

The reason I'm asking...my partner Doris is *not* a bibliophile but she did like the above two books a lot, so I'm trying to think of another book to get her.

She's reading "Wuthering Heights" now, but isn't getting into it much. (Ironically, I also disliked "Wuthering Heights" though I liked "Jane Eyre" a lot).

If she liked Jane Eyre she might like its fanfic-y prequel, Wide Sargasso Sea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Sargasso_Sea), by Jean Rhys. It's told from the point of view of Bertha Mason, Mr. Rochester's supposedly "mad" first wife. Never read it myself, so I can't comment on whether or not it's any good.

Also, try poking around at LibraryThing.com.

I heard Sargasso is good but I never read it either. Thanks for the rec!
