This is my favorite Brontë sister book. It’s so less insipid than Jane Eyre, and tbh, I can’t get through Wuthering Heights.
The book is a fairly accurate portrayal of a Woman dealing with a failed marriage, combined with alcohol abuse. It’s surprisingly real for a Victorian novel, and it pulls few punches.
At the time this book was considered “too much” but I think it’s a great book and deserves much more attention.

I enjoyed this novel very much, but while I was committed to the mystery I couldn't attach myself fully to the romance. I think it was because the backstories were more fleshed-out than the present-day plotlines, so I felt a disconnect between the past and present characters and their relationships.
I intend to re-read this, to fully immerse myself in the world without the impulse to read ahead.
