Much better than I was expecting based on reviews from when it first came out.
Almost 2 years later, I still treasure this novel and it comes to mind often. Considering rereading. That's not the norm for me either.
I absolutely adored this book. It is without a doubt my favourite novel by a Bronte. It is a little wonder Anne's sisters disliked it; it is so far away from their terrible support of women pursuing horrible men. This book is no far advanced for it's time.

Another of my favorite literary works! Very much under appreciated and overshadowed by her sisters

It could be a modern story...but some of the Victorian language and stylistic conventions are hard. I have never read a better profile of an abusive man. The description of his psychological state on his deathbed will stay with you.
Maybe a spoiler, but I really dislike narcissists so I hated this book.
