   Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier (Bonzer, chrisharpe, fannyprice)

   chrisharpe: There are some similarities between these two books: a young woman marries an older widower and moves to his mansion, where the marriage is challenged by the unearthly presence of the first wife.

   fannyprice: These two books reminded me a lot of each other but Rebecca was more modern and somewhat less preachy.

   Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (TineOliver)

   TineOliver: Debates about which is the greater love story have raged between book lovers for years. Why not read both and form your own opinion?

   Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë (roby72, gabynation6)

   gabynation6: these authors were sisters

   The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde (Kerian, westher, deepikasd)

   Kerian: If for some reason you read The Eyre Affair without having read Jane Eyre, I definitely recommend it. It will certainly be interesting to read and is a very good book.

   westher: Voor als je wilt weten hoe de verhaallijn ontstaan is ;-)

   deepikasd: This story also gives you a different spin and shows how the story is "changed" to what it is today. Though the story is a parody, the reader who loves Jane Eyre will definitely love meeting the characters again and relish the story all over.

   Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys (stephmo, aces, JenniferLivingstone, kjuliff)

   stephmo: Written as the story of the first Mrs. Rochester. While this may not be the light we want to remember Mr. Rochester in, it leads to a richer picture of the man he becomes for Jane.

   kjuliff: Mr. Rochester

    Jenna Starborn by Sharon Shinn (infiniteletters)

    infiniteletters: An interesting retelling.

    The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot (ncgraham)

    ncgraham: Two Victorian heroines approach the question of how to reconcile passion and morality in very different ways.

14. 51
    Aurora Leigh (Oxford World's Classics) by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (ElizabethPotter)

    ElizabethPotter: This is like Jane Eyre in verse.

    The Mysterious Howling by Maryrose Wood (_Zoe_)

    _Zoe_: The Mysterious Howling offers a fresh perspective on the young governess arriving at a mysterious new place of employment. It's tongue-in-cheek and very funny--definitely an enjoyable read for those who don't take Jane Eyre too seriously.

    Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy (lanaing)

    Jane, the Fox, and Me by Fanny Britt (JenniferLivingstone)

    JenniferLivingstone: If you're a fan of Jane Eyre, you might enjoy the children's book Jane, the Fox, and Me. It's a sweet story about a young girl who has trouble with bullying and self-esteem - and who is able to find comfort from the book Jane Eyre. Highly, highly recommended.… (more)

    The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë (Lapsus_Linguae)

    Lapsus_Linguae: The authors were sisters. Both depict independent heroines who will not adhere to the hypocrite 19th-century mores.
