The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë

5.0

Had no idea just how much I’d love this. A feminist novel with an epistolary framing between two men that implies a focus on how patriarchy gives men power yet… strips them of emotion, love, and ability to connect with not only women, but with each other as well. The descriptions here of drug addiction and drug interactions (the specificity of how alcohol interacts with opioids???) are stunning to read, and just when you think the novel can’t get any darker, it ends with hope. Adored this
