schopflin 's review for:

Villette by Charlotte Brontë
4.0

I have a lot of time for the foibles of Victorian novels which means the melodrama and coinicidences of Villette didn't detract for me the fascinating character-drawing and evocation of a world. It's partly a school story too, a genre for which I have been seeking the adult equivalent my entire adult life.
