10 Reviews: Best Classic Books for Teenage Girl (Apr 2024)

Emily Bronte only wrote one novel, which passed away just one year after Wuthering Heights was first published when she was thirty. A dark and moody story set in Yorkshire about a love stronger than death is also a furious vision of metaphysical passion, which forcefully contrasts heaven and hell, nature and society. It is a classic of English literature because it is one of a kind, magical, and has an appeal that transcends time.

"Love the artwork and the simplicity of the overall design. A fitting cover for an outstanding book."

Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities was a thrilling story. It chronicles the narrative of a family imperiled by the French Revolution. Dr. Manette, wrongfully imprisoned in the Bastille for 18 years, is released and reunited with his daughter Lucie, who was raised in London despite her French lineage. Lucie falls in love with Charles Darnay, who left France for his political beliefs. Darnay goes to Paris to help an old family servant, but he is incarcerated for his relatives’ misdeeds. Lucie chases him across the Channel, endangering their lives.

"Dickens is a literary genius, and you will be very moved by this tale related to the French Revolution!! It combines the personal and historical very well."

The Great Gatsby (1925), F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, is his masterpiece. The narrative of Jay Gatsby and his love for Daisy Buchanan, of opulent parties on Long Island when “gin was the national drink and sex the national passion,” is a brilliantly constructed account of America in the 1920s that resonates with mythic power. The Great Gatsby is a classic of lyrical beauty, brutal realism, magic, romance, and mysticism.

"This novel is the flagship of American literature. I strongly recommend this book for Kindle and for schools across the country."

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is about star-crossed lovers whose deaths reconcile their families. Romeo and Juliet have ancient roots. It’s based on an Italian tale translated by Arthur Brooke in 1562 and William Painter in 1567. Shakespeare’s lyrical, dramatic structure, especially switching between comedy and tragedy to heighten tension, enlarging minor characters, and using subplots to deepen the story, is a sign of his theatrical skill. This book is one of the most legendary classic books that teens must read.
