Though I started skipping entire paragraphs and sometimes pages of the author going n and on relentlessly about the états d’âmes of the characters, I really enjoyed this book. Though incredibly frustrated at them idiots lack of communication skills- though I guess there’d be no conflict without it.

Bronte kardeşler arasından sadece Anne’in hiçbir eserini okumamıştım, Wildfell Konağı Kiracısı sayesinde onun kalemiyle de tanıştığımı söyleyebilirim. İçerik olarak kesinlikle zamanının ötesinde bir eser. Özellikle daha ilk sayfalarında başlayan feminist söylemler beni hem çok şaşırttı hem de çok mutlu etti. (Eserin 1848 yılında yazıldığının da altını çizmek isterim. ) Kitabın akışını, içerisinde ayrı bir hikayeyi barındırıyor olmasını çok sevdim. O bir puanı kırmamım tek sebebi içerisinde yer alana saf-hristiyan özelliklerin sürekli bahsedilmeseydi. Gerçekten okurken insanı bayan bir sıklıktaydı. (Yazarın gerçekten bir rahip tarafından büyütüldüğünü görebiliyoruz kitapta

I believe all the Brontë sisters were feminist, but the fact that markham reluctantly accepts helen's decision not to marry him while heathcliff takes out a 20-year-long revenge policy when cathy does the same… yeaaahhh
anyway I see u anne, u are not underrated to me
I am satisfied that if a book is a good one, it is so whatever the sex of the author may be. All novels are or should be written for both men and women to read, and I am at a loss to conceive how a man should permit himself to write anything that would be really disgraceful to a woman, or why a woman should be censured for writing anything that would be proper and becoming for a man.
– Anne Brontë, July 22nd, 1848.
His heart was like a sensitive plant, that opens for a moment in the sunshine, but curls up and shrinks into itself at the slightest touch of the finger, or the lightest breath of wind.
Although I maintain that if she were more perfect, she would be less interesting.
There is such a thing as looking through a person's eyes into the heart, and learning more of the height, and breadth, and depth of another's soul in one hour than it might take you a lifetime to discover, if he or she were not disposed to reveal it, or if you had not the sense to understand it.
I would rather have your friendship than the love of any other woman in the world.

I think I'm not alone in saying that classics, especially those over 300 pages are daunting. Most early novelists LOVE to add so much detail to their stories that sometimes, chapters in classic novels can grow tiresome and confusing. Yet I have to say, even though The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (The Tenant) is over 500 pages, I had no problems at all with the language or the story. I understood everything that was happening and every time I opened the book up, I slid perfectly back into the story.
Now, even though I love classics, reading The Tenant so easily was new to me and I found myself being able to read huge chunks of the book instead of little bits here and there. I found the story and the characters completely encapsulating and I enjoyed every second of it.
There were certainly moments throughout this book where I felt I could hear moments of Anne’s personality shining through. There were so many subtle hints about how Anne truly felt about the different treatment of women compared to men and even with her character creation, Helen Graham is a brilliant heroine that takes no sh*t from the men who surround her. Helen Graham is now one of my favourite female characters and it’s so refreshing to see such a strong-willed character like Helen, featured in a novel which was written way before the fight for women’s suffrage. I know that the fight for women’s rights didn’t begin with the Suffragette’s and it certainly didn’t end there either, but what is so great to hear is that there were women, like Anne, who were not afraid to voice their opinions on the treatment of women.
I certainly enjoyed every moment of this book and it is one that will surely stick in my mind forever. I look forward to hopefully reading more of Anne’s work and hopefully reading more about her because for her to remain known as the ‘forgotten’ Bronte sister would be truly heartbreaking.
