oh how i love helen! read a few reviews saying they felt many parts of the book very dated but i found a lot of it still too real, another 'joy' of being from the third world.
one of my most favourite reads of the year so far. just the story and helen and gilbert and the way anne brontë deals with the portrayal of abuse and beautiful beautiful writing and the atmosphere especially the nature writing. and it was funny at times inspite of the sad theme.

Sorprendente l'abilità con cui la più piccola delle sorelle Brontë dipinge il rapporto della protagonista con quello che oggi si definirebbe un narcisista maligno patologico e che nella visuale ottocentesca vittoriana era ancora considerato semplicemente un "libertino". Il romanzo interseca la forma epistolare con quella diaristica e il gioco ad incastro riesce ad essere avvincente fino alla fine. Anne Brontë dimostra di non essere da meno rispetto a Charlotte ed Emily e conferma il rimpianto per ciò che la simbiosi, unica ed irripetibile, dei loro splendidi talenti avrebbe potuto regalarci se le loro vite non fossero state così brevi.
Ho alternato l'ebook con l'ascolto in audiolibro, che è letto splendidamente dalla bravissima Tamara Fagnocchi.

This book is incredible. Such a brilliant beautiful and impressive examination of marriage, gender and social status in the 19th century. A wonderful, wonderful novel.
