Okay wait!! Empty Theater is a beautifully written book based on the lives of the empress of Austria and her cousin Ludwig of Bavaria. The author paints a vivid picture of the despair, luxury and the complex lives they both lived. This book was one of the first that got me back into reading. It is a deeply emotional and funny story that truly has you feeling connected to the characters. I’ve been waiting to recommend this one!
“The Moor”, Laurie R. King
Honourable Mention:
“the Secret Garden”, Frances Hodges Burnett (a young adult book yes, but I think it’s even better as an adult).
I think the Buccaneers by Edith Wharton gave me these vibes with romance a bit. It’s not as eerie as the Brontë sisters but it’s still kind of classically tragic I feel. People might disagree 😂
The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a living annual plant in the family Asteraceae, with a large flower head (capitulum). The stem of the flower can grow up to 3 metres tall, with a flower head that can be 30 cm wide. Other types of sunflowers include the California Royal Sunflower, which has a burgundy (red + purple) flower head.
AFFINITY by Sarah Waters. DARK DANCE by Tanith Lee. THE WOMAN IN WHITE by Wilkie Collins. MIGNONETTE by Joseph Shearing. REBECCA by Daphne Du Maurier. RETURN OF THE NATIVE by Thomas Hardy.

Turn of the Screw - Henry James
I just read this last month before Rebecca. Both were great
Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier
Lots of Daphne in these comments. I just blew through Rebecca and My cousin Rachel. Maybe Jamaica Inn is next!
The Scapegoat. Definitely.
Adding Frenchman’s Creek!
And King's General, for sure.
Reading this right now and had to check if someone had mentioned it here! Perfect fit.
Tess of the D’Urbervilles
This is Thomas Hardy's vibe. Earlier stuff is happier endings. Later stuff is better though.
From these pics I'd go with Far From the Madding Crowd
Came here to recommend this one.

Also note that the two main characters experience tragedy in relationships separately^

I loved this book! And the Netflix adaptation is amazing.
Obvious answer but anything by Jane Austen is precisely this vibe (typing this as I watch Pride & Prejudice 2005)
