“Con él no tenía nada que limitara ni reprimiera mi alegría y vivacidad, pues con él mi tranquilidad era perfecta, porque sabía que estaba hecha para él: parecía que todo lo que decía o hacía yo lo consolaba o animaba.”
Este libro es una historia de amor muy bonita y espiritual; la escritura de las hermanas Brontë me ha dejado inmensamente sorprendida pues trae a relucir que las mujeres, aún dentro de un aspecto religioso, pueden sobresalir por su talento y determinación. Habla directamente a un entorno tan manchado por el machismo, en donde si pueden haber mujeres protagonistas y dueñas de sí mismas. (En el fondo me sigue gustando más “Cumbres Borrascosas”, pero muy lindo aún así)

"And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you."

I feel like I’m the only one not into this romance. I didn’t enjoy it at all and honestly I thought it was cringey. I liked reading about her life before and after the ordeal though!

Jane. Eyre. JANE EYRE
I read this mostly in favor for my friend, who kept gently pushing me in the direction of this book (her favorite book)
When I finally started this book tho, I realized how little I really knew what to expect. But wrapped in a warm blanket with the audiobook on, I felt like I was living the story with Jane.
AND THE SWOONING, oh man. Here one of my favorite quotes:
“I have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you. And if you were to leave I'm afraid that cord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I'd take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you'd forget me.”
Just...<3
Apparently, according to my friend, one of my favorite books contains the biggest Jane Eyre spoiler ever. But luckily I am an idiot and have a really bad memory because the plottwist really hit.
I gasped and felt it all!
After closing the book I initially gave it 4 stars. As the plot isn't my usual go to thing. But now,when writing this review, I feel that this book did do something for me. And I look at it with fondness now that deserves 5 shining stars!
