I think it would qualify within this. How about "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin?
How about Jane Austen's Persuasion?

How bout Thackeray's Vanity Fair? If it counts I'm in to it!

I'm not interested in the husband-hunting of the usual suspects, but I think it would be beneficial if I got out of my comfort zone.
If this is a nomination, I'm in.

It is if its length doesn't exempt it.
Length is never an issue in the book forum. We've had plays, novellas, and collections of short stories.

Either way though, I may end up voting for Persuasion. I admit, I am a sucker for Austen - a reread of her is always a delight.
Emma (Austen)
And Persuasion is her best as far as i'm concerned!
Although persuasion would more or less have my vote...
... can i nominate wives and daughters (just incase Persuasion wins valentines and is exempt from here???)
