I adore Howatch’s Starbridge series. Thanks to its hefty page count, this makes it great for an ereader, and perfect for “a book that’s more than 500 pages” for a Reading Challenge. From the publisher: “The stunning gothic manor is the picture of English nobility, wealth, and comfort. But as the twentieth century unfolds, those behind Penmarric’s towering walls face nothing short of disaster.
