A Strange Disappearance Anna Katharine Green English
Q, the young detective who tells this one, is good company, quick with a disguise and a little vain about it, and watching him worry at why a sewing girl vanished from a rich man's house is half the fun. Expect Victorian melodrama under the sleuthing, and enjoy it anyway.
Freckles Gene Stratton-Porter English
You might enjoy Freckles for its earnest, slightly old-fashioned heart: Freckles, a one-handed Irish orphan guarding the Limberlost, finds dignity in the work and solace in the swamp’s birds, trees, and secret places. It’s sentimental and sometimes preachy, but the natural writing feels genuinely observed.
South! Ernest Shackleton não ficção English
Shackleton writes like a ship's log, flat and matter-of-fact, which somehow makes it worse when the ice crushes the Endurance and better when the little James Caird survives the open Southern Ocean. If you like your courage understated, this is that in book form.
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.
