atop the same building from which they intend to leap. 2. William
Golding, author of _Lord of the Flies_, which you may have read. It's

answers5:A.S. Byatt is a wonderful author. She wrote "Possession," a
story about 19th century literary figures who were in love, but
there's also a modern-day love story. She has written other novels as
well. This is an especially good author if you like 19th century
writers, because then you will understand the allusions that are
important in some of her books. "Possession" covers topics like
friendship, family, and especially love to some extent, although
there's also a lot about artistic creation and so forth. It would be
a challenging book for high schoolers, but they could look up the
allusions & share with the class so it could be fun too. Another
writer that might be good, especially if you like Gothic themes, is
Daphne du Maurier. I've been meaning to read her books but haven't
yet, but know that "Rebecca" is a novel set in Cornwall about a new
wife coming to an estate that still holds the presence of the
husband's former wife. It's supposed to be very good. Both of these
books are kind of Gothic and generally recognized as quality works. I
can personally vouch for "Possession" being an engaging and powerful
story, and I'm looking forward to the day when I get around to reading
"Rebecca," since I've heard so much about it. Hope this helps!
