Brave New World

Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through clever use of genetic engineering, drugs and brainwashing all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone harbouring a longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress...

Jane Eyre

Mystery, hardship, and love. Jane comes from nothing but she desires everything life can offer her. And when she finds work as a governess in a mysterious mansion, it seems she has finally met her match with the darkly fascinating Mr. Rochester. But Thornfield Hall contains a shameful secret—one that could keep Jane and Mr. Rochester apart forever. Can she choose between what is right and her one chance of happiness?

Pride and Prejudice

When two rich young gentlemen move to town, they don't go unnoticed - especially when Mrs Bennett vows to have one of her five daughters marry into their fortunes. But love, as Jane and Elizabeth Bennett soon discover, is rarely straightforward, and often surprising. It's only a matter of time until their own small worlds are turned upside down and they discover that first impressions can be the most misleading of all.

Rebecca
The novel begins in Monte Carlo, where our heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady's maid, she can barely believe her luck. It is only when they arrive at his massive country estate that she realizes how large a shadow his late wife will cast over their lives--presenting her with a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their marriage from beyond the grave.
