The Circular Staircase Mary Roberts Rinehart English
Rachel Innes is the reason to read this: a dry, unflappable spinster who rents a country house, finds a body, and refuses to be scared off. The mystery creaks pleasantly, but her narration (constantly sparring with her maid Liddy) is what keeps you turning pages.
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall Anne Brontë English
Helen slamming her bedroom door against her charming drunk of a husband still feels startling. You get her whole diary, so the mystery widow becomes a woman you actually know, and it's angrier and braver than anything her sisters wrote.
This Side of Paradise F. Scott Fitzgerald English
You get Amory Blaine in all his charm, vanity, hunger, and confusion, stumbling through Princeton, romance, and the aftermath of war. The novel is uneven and sometimes wonderfully overstuffed, but its quick shifts in voice capture what it feels like to outgrow the person you thought you’d become.
