“This is definitely my favourite classic, I loved the dark atmosphere of the book, and the setting being Notre-Dame, which is one of my favourite places in Paris. It's not entirely dark and horrible, there are times when it can be humorous, but it's brutal in terms of showing what obsession can become when it's misunderstood as love and the true form of love shown by other characters.” Leah

Four of the greatest romance novels ever written, which define the genre

PRAISE FOR JANE EYRE
“Brontë's heart-wrenching story tells the tale of the eponymous orphan Jane Eyre as she goes from abusive childhood to turbulent romance.” Stylist

WUTHERING HEIGHTS
“Wuthering Heights, to my mind, is the greatest love story ever told. Emily Brontë's writing is unforgettably lyrical, passionate and so accomplished” Tara Moore Novelicious.com

PRIDE & PREJUDICE
“I was quickly hooked by the flawed, wonderfully drawn characters, the razor-sharp picture of an oppressively class-bound culture, and the strong woman at the center who skillfully wove her way through all the genteel perils. I read Pride and Prejudice about once every five years, swept away by the witty developments as Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy struggle to love and acceptance.” Mary C. Curtis, The Charlotte Observer

MIDDLEMARCH
“Everything she might need to know about marriage, about love, about life itself, was encompassed in the novel’s pages.” Rebecca Mead ‘Middlemarch and Me’ New Yorker

"The pioneer of a new post-Beatnik generation.” New York Herald Tribune

"Lee Olds is a thinking person’s writer. Here is a writer to watch." San Francisco Examiner

"The Return is a stunning and surprising novel, with great characters and a strong narrative drive." Ann Abrams

Sascha and her young daughter are on a ‘hippy’ road trip in their old VW camper van, before their return to Santa Barbara for a reconciliation with her violent and abusive artist husband, the girl’s father, following a separation. In a camp site off the beaten track they serendipitously meet Roberts, a charming hulk of a man who takes them under his wing and wins their confidence, despite his own troubled past. After spending some enchanting days in Roberts’ company exploring the idyllic wilds of California, the ever-anticipated and seemingly ever-forestalled return eventually comes to pass – yet only after the two women develop, in their own way, a strong bond with the stranger. But once in Santa Barbara will Sascha’s husband have changed his drunken, abusive ways and control his jealousy, and will the mother ever escape his wrath and find the complicated kind of freedom she discovered in the redwoods with Roberts?
