I just had to know if there were other writers scanning through Project Gutenberg for these authors. They are my absolute favourites! So far I've read:
Poor Miss Finch by Wilkie Collins - I LOVED this book! The main character is blind, but the story's journey truly shows the truth about disability: we all have them, and sometimes we can find strengths or special talents in them.
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins - The first mystery novel I've ever liked. Collins has a way with characters
Seventeen by Booth Tarkington - Funny! The little sister says the funniest things!
The Flirt by Booth Tarkington
Alice Adams by Booth Tarkington - a somewhat sad story. Yet, Tarkington keeps your interest and hope for the characters.
For both of these authors, their biggest asset was their imagery and way with words. Collins can keep your attention just with a character sitting in a buggy on the way to a house. In Poor Miss Finch, this is how the story started, yet her words drew me in.
Fabulous writing all the way!
