A scary account of domestic violence which draws many parallels to modern day. Most fearless of the Brontë books I've read so far, touching on how to parent boys, unorthodox religious views and it seemed to me more feminist than other Brontë books e.g Vilette as I didn't feel the jealous undertones towards other women.
Would highly recommend having a background read on the sisters lives alongside the book
