Do you need to have any particular subject matter for your book club? If you let me know, I'd be more than happy to suggest a list...
(Keep in mind that my husband and I live with two cats and about 4000 books -- mostly mine, and mostly all read, and many read multiple times by me. Back when I could read "real" books, as well as potato chip books. While I do have certain distinct themes to my reading, there's still a pretty good range.)
And here are two other suggestions, based only on what you were thinking of:
"The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" by Anne Bronte -- probably my favorite of the Brontes' novels, feminist, about a woman who marries badly and manages to overcome it.
"The Mother's Recompense" by Edith Wharton -- again, feminist, darker than the other, but with a great deal of irony and social criticism. Again, a favorite.
If you have any interest in other suggestions, let me know. I *love* suggesting books, and thinking about books, and -- when I can -- reading books. {sigh} Let's hope that last part comes back soon.
