Reading Emma by Jane Austen and Tess of the D'urbervilles by Thomas Hardy for back to back Friday and Monday book groups was both overwhelming and insightful. The paperback copies I was reading were the exact same length, and both Emma and Tess take a lot of responsibility for their families, but that is where the similarities between these books (and these women) ended.
Both inspired good discussions though!
Emma - 449 pages
Tess - 449 pages
