I just turned 30 a few months ago, and have been reading books like Jane Eyre about girlhood; I have noticed there aren’t a whole lot of books with female main characters that go beyond the coming of age stories that take place in your teen years and 20s. Genre doesn’t matter so much, just looking for good stories of women in their 30s and 40s.

The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde (and it’s sequels). The main character, Thursday, is in her 30s and is working on dealing with trauma along with all the classic career, love and family things. Plus you just read Jane Eyre and the plot involves Jane getting kidnapped out of her book. And she has a pet dodo named Pickwick
