We hear you: We miss Downton Abbey too. We miss the tightly  knit story, the characters, the costumes, the accents and most of all - the  setting. Fret not. At BookBrowse, we have compiled our own special list of books  that take you back to Britain, to the land of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.  After all armchair travel, especially with a great book, is as close to the  real thing as it can get. Even better, it's much less expensive. These  cherry-picked recommendations will pair perfectly with a spot of tea or even  the house's best curry (which usually tops surveys of Britain's favorite dishes) to give your book club experience that extra dash of  British panache.

Each recommendation is backed by an excerpt, a reading guide, a range of media reviews and, for a limited time access to BookBrowse's full reviews and beyond the book articles.

But first - a quick rundown of our currently open and soon to open book club discussions. These books are worth your time as each is a proven winner with book clubs, as shown by the vibrant discussion on BookBrowse. If you've read any of them, please do join in the discussion!
