Villette by Charlotte Bronte
Who doesn’t love a book by one of the Bronte sisters? This is one of my favorites. Angry, witty and honest, this is an amazing example of feminist literature. Lucy Snow is in the role of a 19th century woman, repressed and irrelevant to society. Bronte writes of her adventures in life. This book is reported to be somewhat autobiographical. I wonder how I would have felt in these shoes. It had to be so frustrating to be a woman during this time in history.
A beautifully crafted story with a complex character. Not to be missed!
