lisele 's review for:

Villette by Charlotte Brontë
2.0

DNF'd after 20 chapters.

This was a struggle for me both in reading the book and listening to it as an audiobook. I feel that I am a Bronte "newbie" and need to read other books and possibly come back to this one. I wasn't a fan of the main character Lucy and not knowing much about her and the language was a bit difficult to understand at times. I realize that I really need to take my time when reading classics. While I read Jane Eyre and liked it so much more than Villette, I feel I definitely need to re-read it to really appreciate the story which is something I plan to do by year end.
